As details about the attacker, Thomas Matthew Crooks, emerge, investigators are faced with a perplexing lack of clear motives. Crooks’ activities leading up to the shooting, including purchasing ammunition and practicing at a shooting range, offer little insight into his intentions. His interest in computer coding and gaming further complicates attempts to understand his actions.
The presence of explosives in Crooks’ car and a remote detonator suggest a potentially more dangerous plan behind the shooting. The legal purchase of the firearm used in the attack raises questions about how such weapons can end up in the wrong hands, highlighting the need for stricter gun control measures.
