The revelation of the timeline came as sources told ABC News that Crooks searched on his phone for images of President Joe Biden and former President Trump and searched for the dates of Trump’s rally in Butler and for dates of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Wtf they're just gonna bury that in the middle of the article?! Sounds like this dude was hoping to kill both Biden and Trump.

I doubt it. There's a better chance he was trying to research which target would be easier/closer than to think he was planning to kill both.

Seems like a hell of a way to commit suicide. Your name will be remembered for centuries.

Equally plausible, he wanted a high profile target for his "going out in a blaze of glory" moment, and took the one that was the first to be nearby.

Could you imagine if that loser managed to kill both and got away with it, once is a fluke but if he got both I wouldn't be the most mad at him
