The FBI has been able to identify the suspect in the attempted assassination of Trump.

This is 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, reported agency Reuters. According to his information, the FBI considers him involved in the attempted murder.

Former US President Donald Trump narrowly escaped death after a sniper shot him at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, while he was giving a speech at the podium.

One of the bullets missed his head by millimeters, striking his right ear and causing profuse bleeding. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, his headquarters and security services said.

Trump himself said he heard a whooshing sound after the shots started, then felt a bullet go through the top of his right ear. He thanked the Secret Service and law enforcement for their quick response.
