It's Matthew Crooks' first public appearance since the assassination attempt nine days earlier.
Crooks said in part quote: “we just want to try to take care of ourselves right now. Please, just give us our space."
He also said the family will release a statement once they are advised by legal counsel.
20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper after opening fire at the Trump rally. Investigators believe that the ar-15 rifle used in the attack was legally purchased years earlier by Crook's father. The family is said to be cooperating with the investigation.

I feel bad for that family. They did lose a child in a very violent way. Very tragic for everyone involved

These folks lost their son, though he committed a terrible crime, they should have time to grieve their son’s death, the press should leave them alone 😢

the media are really vultures. Their son may have "transitioned" loony and was used. no parent must ever go thru such terrible times

Suspicious enough yet?

Sad that people harass the family members who obviously had nothing to do with any of it. Media at its finest.
