> EDIT: looks like they ID'd the shooter. Motivations are still being investigated but it appears that he's a Republican (according to state voter records). He was registered as a Republican, but he also made a small donation to Democrats. As the NYT reports: [0] > A voter-registration record showed that Mr. Crooks was registered as a Republican, though federal campaign-finance records show he donated $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, a liberal voter turnout group, through the Democratic donation platform ActBlue in January 2021. State voter registration is pretty meaningless. Some people haven't voted for party X for years, but have never bothered to switch their voter registration away from it. Some people never really supported party X at all, but registered under it so they could vote in its primary (relevant in a closed primary state such as Pennsylvania) I think we really need to hold off making assumptions about the shooter's politics were until we get some harder evidence.
