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.

Update:

Located at end of article, I stand corrected.

ABC News' Kevin Shalvey, Isabella Murray, Mark Osborne, Charlotte Slovin, Sasha Pezenik, Matt Seyler and Luis Martinez contributed to this report.

Twelve hacks contributed to this asinine article.

It’s an open primary state.

No, it isn’t. Pennsylvania.Is a CLOSED primary state. Hence, many Democrats registered as Republican to vote in the Republican primary.

Oh? Do tell ABC News/Disney. What are the tell-tale signs, ABC News/Disney?

Also, ABCNews/Disney, who are these "sources"

Whatever the hell the DNCMedia wants to say, it is just stupid to remark he was a “Republican” and leave it at that.

No one is going to be satisfied with some plain-faced explanation that Trump was almost killed by one of his own, and that’s all. Not without a smirk from the newsreader.

It’s so retarded.
