The attack on Trump: the attacker acted alone, FBI
The attacker who tried to assassinate Donald Trump acted alone, is the first conclusion of the FBI, which is leading the investigations. The investigators are trying to understand the reasons that led the 20-year-old to resort to this extreme gesture, writes Euronews.
Investigators believe that Crooks, armed with a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle, opened fire at the former president while he was addressing a crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania, leaving one audience member dead and two others wounded.
The 20-year-old kitchen worker was shot dead at the scene by a Secret Service sniper, officials said.
In his well-to-do hometown, however, neighbours are in shock, seemingly unable to grasp how a quiet young man is now accused in the shooting, BBC reports..
The FBI, for its part, has said only that Crooks was the "subject involved in the assassination attempt on the former president and that an active investigation was under way."
