David K. Li
The FBI formally called today's attack on Trump an assassination attempt and said a motive wasn't immediately apparent.
"This evening we had what we're calling an assassination attempt on our former president, Donald Trump," Kevin Rojek, the FBI special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh field office, told reporters. "We do not currently have an identified motive."
Rojek said authorities weren't immediately ready to identify the shooter. Officials said that he had no identification on him and that investigators are using biometrics to try to confirm his identity.
