In Bethel Park, where the man who is suspected of opening fire at Donald Trump during a campaign rally on Saturday lived with his mother and sister, the houses are small and built of brick, Walmart and Target form central social hubs, and mothers watch over their children at a junior league baseball park next to a tributary of the Allegheny River.

Bethel Park FBI seeks to understand ideology of 'smart and shy' gunman

The attempted assassination of the former president just 45 miles north has put a focus on Bethel Park as investigators attempt to establish the motivations of the 20-year-old shooter.

Authorities on Sunday identified the suspect as Thomas Matthew Crooks. Officials said they believed Crooks had acted alone. But so far they have not been able to uncover a motivation that drove the young man to unleash a hail of bullets at Trump, wounding him and killing a former fire chief who was shielding his daughters.

The FBI said it would continue to investigate the attack as an attempted assassination and an act of domestic terrorism.

"The information that we have indicates that the shooter acted alone," said Kevin Rojek, the supervisory special agent in charge of the FBI's Pittsburgh field office.
