Donald Trump has closely survived an assassin attempt at a Pennsylvania rally. Law Enforcement institutions have identified the man who made an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Saturday.
The gunman who fired on Trump was immediately “neutralized” by the Secret Service, chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi said.
The FBI said the man who fired at the Trump rally, is dead, was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. A motive was not clear.
