“We cannot, we must not, go down this road in America,” he said, speaking in a prime time speech to the nation. “There is no place in America for this kind of violence, for any violence ever. Period. No exceptions. We can’t allow this violence to be normalised.” An annotated photo showing what appears to be a bullet passing by Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

The officials said that they had found no indication that the gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was part of any larger plot and that their top priority was determining his motive. The FBI officials said they had not uncovered evidence that the shooter had mental health issues, and said his phone, rifle and a possible “rudimentary” explosive device found among his possessions had been sent to the bureau’s lab in Quantico, Virginia. The family was co-operating with the investigation, the FBI said.The assassination attempt plunged the 2024 presidential race into shock and uncertainty.
