There does not seem to be any additional threat, but FBI and state police are still investigating, authorities say
Authorities told a news conference Saturday night that they were “close” to identifying the gunman involved in the shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally, but were not yet prepared to identify him formally and had not yet determined a motive.
“At this time we have no reason to believe that there is any other existing threat out there,” said Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police, speaking from Butler, where the shooting took place.
“We have one shooter tentatively identified, but we’re not stopping there. We’re following up on a lot of information. It will be sometime before we can conclusively answer that question,” he said when asked if this was a lone wolf attack.
“If there is any information developed that anyone else was involved, that between (the state police) and the FBI, that will very quickly be followed up on,” he added.
