THE FBI said in a press statement on Sunday evening  that it has not identified a motive for the shooter’s actions in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday, July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“But we are working to determine the sequence of events and the shooter’s movements prior to the shooting, collecting and reviewing evidence, conducting interviews, and following up on all leads. We have also obtained the shooter’s telephone for examination,” it added.

The shooting which “resulted in one victim’s death and injuries to former President Trump and other spectators,” is being investigated “as an assassination attempt and potential domestic terrorism,” the FBI said.

It said: “While the investigation to date indicates the shooter acted alone, the FBI continues to conduct logical investigative activity to determine if there were any co-conspirators associated with this attack. At this time, there are no current public safety concerns.”

The statement said: “The FBI has searched the shooter’s home and vehicle to collect additional evidence. Suspicious devices found at both locations have been rendered safe by bomb technicians and are being evaluated at the FBI Laboratory.

“The firearm used in the shooting was purchased legally.

“The shooter was not known to the FBI prior to this incident.”

The FBI investigation is being led by the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office in coordination with its local, state, and federal partners. Anyone with information that may assist with the ongoing investigation is encouraged to submit it online at tips.fbi.gov or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
