Some time on July 13, before Donald Trump’s evening campaign rally in Pennsylvania, officials say Thomas Matthew Crooks bought 50 rounds of 5.56 mm ammunition for his AK-15-style rifle in Bethel Parks and drove north to the political event. Authorities say the 20-year-old parked at a gas station lot about one-third of a mile away from the rally.
