The former president ducked to the floor as shots rang out and was mobbed by Secret Service agents, while the sniper, who was killed by security forces, has been named as Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Also, there is no indication anywhere in this article what the shooters political leanings may have been. I’m not saying you are wrong. I just don’t see that information here anywhere.
“The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pa., as the suspected shooter at former president Donald Trump’s rally. The FBI, which called the attack an assassination attempt, said it was trying to determine his motive and asked the public to come forward with anything they know about Crooks. The shooter was killed. Crooks was a registered Republican, according to the state’s voter status records.”
FYI: The article is paywalled

It requires registration, not payment. And it clearly says he is a registered republican.
My bad, I do see that it is referenced further down. I didn’t scroll that far initially. Deleted my initial comment.
