Authorities have identified the gunman involved in the attack against former US President Donald Trump on Saturday as a 20-year-old individual who was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene. The gunman fired on Trump while perched on a nearby building rooftop outside the rally’s security perimeter. Witnesses described a chaotic scene with people administering first aid and struggling with the dense crowd. The shooting left one rally attendee dead and two others in critical condition. Trump was injured but otherwise fine. The investigation is ongoing, and the FBI has urged the public to submit any information they have.
