The FBI has identified the attacker, who fired shots at Donald Trump, as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
“This remains an active and ongoing investigation,” the FBI said, urging anyone who has videos or photos of the incident to provide them to the agency.
Sources earlier told the New York Post that Crooks targeted Trump from the roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards (119m) away from the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooter was killed by US Secret Service snipers. An AR-style rifle was later found near his body. The village of Bethel Park is located 40 miles (64km) south of Butler.
