Investigators are now trying to figure out what drove the shooter, with the FBI saying it believed that Crooks acted alone and had no known ideology.
"We are investigating this as an assassination attempt, but also looking at it as a potential domestic terrorism act," Robert Wells, assistant director of the FBI counterterrorism division, told reporters.
The FBI said the AR-style 556 rifle was believed to have been bought by the shooter's father, but do not yet know how he accessed the weapon or whether he took it without his father's knowledge.
Investigators also found a "suspicious device" in the shooter's car that was inspected by bomb technicians, while they are searching his phone for hints to his motive.
"BULLIED"
Crooks' former schoolmates described him as a quiet student who often came across as lonely.
"He was quiet but he was just bullied. He was bullied so much," Jason Kohler, who said he attended the same high school as Crooks, told reporters.
Biden meanwhile praised the victim, named as firefighter Corey Comperatore, saying he "was protecting his family from the bullets".
The attempt on Trump's life sent shock waves around the world, but the effects on a tight US presidential race in a deeply divided country are uncertain.
