Islamabad - Currently, the political campaign for the presidential elections in the United States is at its peak and Trump was also present in Pennsylvania in this regard.
In the video that went viral on social media, it can be seen that during the rally, there was a sudden sound of gunshots and Trump immediately bowed down.
His security personnel immediately took him into custody and when he reappeared on video, he was bleeding from his ear.
Who attacked Trump?
Now the statement of the American investigative agency FBI has come out, in which it is stated that the person who attacked Donald Trump has been identified.
According to the FBI, the shooter at Donald Trump was a 20-year-old local man, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, but the motive for the attack is not yet known.
Crooks fired about 20 shots, one of which hit the former US president's ear. According to the FBI, the attacker was armed. The attacker did not have any identification documents, so the FBI had to resort to DNA tests to identify him.
The Associated Press (AP) quoted Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger as claiming that the suspected attacker had also been killed.
According to the news agency, another person has also died in this retaliatory action.
