From what I understand he wasn't the one who made the donation, it was some 69 year old guy with the same name. This hasn't been fully confirmed yet though.

Please add your sources for this. I can only find people saying the same thing but all without sources. Some claim it's everywhere on the socials.. Which does not qualify as more than gossip for now.

It looks like I was incorrect.

This is the record for the donation that the news reported. On the document it states the city of the donor as being "Pittsburgh" and there is another person named Thomas Crooks that lives in Pittsburgh. But the zip code is to "Bethel Park" the town the shooter was from. The street address on the document doesn't seem to matches any street address in Pittsburgh but there is one in Bethel Park according to Google maps.

So I think it probably was the shooter that made the donation.

Thanks for coming back to us with this, the clarification regarding the confusion as well is much appreciated.

This is an important data point if true, would like to see a source if you have one.
