A top official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said the agency is looking into the shooting that unfolded at Donald Trump’s campaign rally as an assassination attempt as well as a “potential” domestic terrorism act.

“At this point [in] the investigation, it appears that he was a lone actor, but we still have more investigation to go,” explained Robert Wells, the executive assistant director of the FBI’s National Security Branch, referring to the suspected shooter. 

“We are investigating this as an assassination attempt,” but also as a “potential domestic terrorism act,” he explained. 

“So our counterterrorism division and our criminal divisions are working jointly together to determine the motive.”

Trump survived a shooting at his campaign rally in Butler, Pa. on Saturday when he was hit in the ear less than 10 minutes into his remarks.
