The FBI believes the gunman who opened fire on former President Donald Trump‘s rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month flew a drone near the venue for about 11 minutes in the hours before the shooting, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to the House on Wednesday.
In an exchange with House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Wray said investigators “recovered” a drone that the shooter, identified as a 20-year-old man named Thomas Matthew Crooks, “appears to have used.”
The drone was recovered in Crooks’ vehicle, where it and the controller were located at the time of the shooting, Wray said, who noted the drone is being “exploited and analyzed by the FBI lab.”
