The father of the gunman who shot Donald Trump called police after the rally shooting, worried that his son and a firearm were missing, according to reports.
Matthew Crooks realized his 20-year-old son, Thomas Matthew Crooks, and an AR-style rifle were missing shortly after shots were fired at the former president at a campaign rally on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Three senior law enforcement officials told NBC News that the father then called police.
According to a new report by Fox News, Thomas Matthew Crooks’ parents called law enforcement to report concerns about their son in the hours leading up to the attempted assassination of President Trump.
The Fox News report is much more ambiguous. Saying eventually they called the cops
NBC seems like they had the direct source. Note that police didn't look for him, but went to the house.
After Crooks opened fire, his father called police to say he was worried that his son and his AR rifle were missing, three senior officials said. Police went to the home after the call.
Thomas Matthew Crooks' parents contacted law enforcement Saturday hours before he opened fire on former President Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, a source told Fox News
The aspiring assassin's mother and father told local police that Crooks was missing and that they were concerned about his welfare, the source said.
It remained unclear if they knew that he was in possession of an AR-15 rifle that belonged to his father.
Police have not said what actions they took after being contacted.
Security failure? HA. PLEASE members of the USSS, those of you who know right from wrong and have a conscience, come forward. Do the right thing and tell what you know. You took an oath to protect and defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. Before you're scapegoated, explain what happened and why this complete failure occurred. Who in your ranks is a traitor? Who issued orders to stand down or look away? You KNOW that this is NOT a security failure. You know the USSS is better than this. Explain what happened. Talk to James O'Keefe. This is about more than President Trump. It's about your personal integrity, your oath, your conscience. Do the right thing...NOW.
Rally goers must start being ultra observant, and taking an passive role in Trumps security. No longer see something, say something. See something, make something happen.
Need to organize some people with Binoculars to keep eyes on vulnerable locations.
Not to mention his parents reporting him missing to the police ????
Had not heard that.
His parents called the police 2hrs before the shooting...
Yup, Dad also said his AR-15 was missing as well. For him to say both of those statements- means he knew something was wrong
It keeps getting worse every day, hour, minute...
Drip,drip, drip
Wait, his dad, a psychologist owned an AR-15?? Doesn't fit the profile
Dad had lots of guns. He and son went to local rifle range.
I think Dad is Trump supporter - read that neighbor saw 2020 Trump Campaign signs in the front yard
I heard his father called the cops, but I had not heard it was beforehand.
Do you have a source.
The place I read it made it really seem like it was after the shooting
I seen it on RAV news, GP hs the story...
Yeah, it was after.
It would have been a much, much bigger story if it was before.

Supports the "Just a security failure" Narrative.
No. I don't think so, because nobody is so stupid and ignrant. It supports the "it was planned by the deepstate" narrativ.
But their Narrative is that it was the kid acting alone.
That’s stupid and ignorant
Make range finders illegal…
Just wait for it…
