The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is looking into "an assassination attempt" against former US President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania, authorities said.
Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of FBI Pittsburgh field office, said the FBI was not prepared to identify the shooter and did not have a motive for the incident that left one person dead and two injured.
"This evening, we had what we are calling an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. It's still an active crime scene," Mr Rojek said during a press conference.
