Law enforcement officials said at a press conference late Saturday night that they had not yet identified a motive for the attack, and the investigation was ongoing.

“This evening we had what we are calling an assassination attempt against our former president, Donald Trump. It is still an active crime scene,” Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, said at the news conference.

The chaos in Butler, Pennsylvania, began around 6:15 p.m., when multiple shots rang out at the rally.
