A 20-year-old Pennsylvania man is suspected to be the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump on Saturday, firing several shots and killing at least one spectator, federal and local law enforcement agencies said.

Investigators are looking at what sources describe as misinformation that the suspected gunman appears to have been recently consuming and whether it played any role in the incident, according to law enforcement sources.

So far, investigators have not uncovered any ties to extremist organizations or individuals, though they continue to scour information from the suspect's phone and other digital devices, according to the sources. Increasingly, the shooting was looking like a lone wolf attack, sources said.

Nice work, Pierre Thomas, Olivia Rubin, Peter Charalambous, Luke Barr, and Jack Date .

Just one question: Did you all receive the spoon-fed information at the same time?

Registered as a Republican in a safe blue state to vote against Trump. He donated money to Act Blue a Democrat party political action group

Pennsylvania is a “closed primary” state. In order to vote in the primary election, voters must be registered with a political party.

Yeah that approximate waist length hair sure does reveal a
Conservative inside. Hack spit!

He had also donated $15.00 to the Democrats. Enough said.

Wouldn’t be totally surprising. There are plenty of Trump-haters who are registered Republicans.

This?

This is what ABC chooses to cover?

The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate has a propaganda arm which includes ABC.

Good boy! Good boy, ABC!

Do what your criminal masters want you to do.

Gave to Act Blue according to most podcast sources, and there’s the video where he reportedly says, “I hate Republicans.” Hard to know what to believe.

Yet the media makes no mention of how this little demon donated to many Democrat campaigns before switching parties.

If he was a confused patsy being manipulated by someone else, it does not matter.

If you wanted to get close to Biden, would you register as a Republican, or as a Democrat?

I know this is some deep thinking.... very tough.

Dems are gloating over him supposedly being a Republican. They are vile.

Ohhh. That makes sense.

This person said on X:

That donation also showed him to be unemployed. Again, enough said...

So this story was 750-800 words? And it required four authors? Has English become much more difficult than it was a few years ago?

These “kids” are such “glory hounds.”

Real Republicans do not and never will donate to Act Blue. His registered Republican affiliation was to vote for Haley, not Trump, in the primaries.

I’d say the shooter grew up in a leftist household.
