The gunman who shot at former President Donald Trump during an election rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday appears to have acted alone, according to the FBI, which is investigating it as a potential “domestic terrorism” act.
The gunman has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks (20).
“At this point in the investigation, it appears that he was a lone actor, but we still have more investigation to go,” said Robert Wells, the executive assistant director of the FBI’s National Security Branch.
The FBI, he said, is investigating this as an assassination attempt,” and also as a “potential domestic terrorism act.”
The counterterrorism division and criminal divisions are working jointly together to determine the motive, he added.
