Hours before Thomas Matthew Crooks tried to kill former President Donald Trump, his family tried to call the cops, federal sources say, which confirms the shooter’s family reported him missing on Saturday before the former president’s rally.

Crooks’ parents are cooperating with FBI investigators as the agency tries to specify a motive for the shooting that injured Trump and killed rally attendee Corey Comperatore.

Officials completed a vetting of Crooks’ phone and social media accounts, but have yet to publicize the results of that probe.

FOX’s Caroline Elliott joins us from the crime scene in Butler, Pennsylvania with more.
