The FBI announced on Sunday that it has “tentatively identified” the individual who attempted to assassinate former U.S. President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
However, the agency has not yet determined the motive behind the shooting.
The New York Post has allegedly identified the gunman, although it has not yet been confirmed.
“At this time, we are not prepared to identify who the shooter is. Uh, we are close to that identification, and as soon as we are 100% confident in who that individual is, we will share it with the press. With that being said, also, we do not currently have an identified motive. Although our investigators are working tirelessly to attempt to identify what that motive was at this time,” said Kevin Rojek, FBI special agent in charge in Pittsburgh.
A photo of the shooter after he was shot is also going viral on social media. For those who wish to see the graphic image, you can view it here.
