The identity and motive of the shooter remain unknown. According to a statement from the Secret Service, the shooter was killed, one rally attendee was deceased, and two other spectators were injured. The incident is being investigated as an assassination attempt. The Secret Service said that the shots seemed to have come from outside their secured area.

In a statement released by Trump, he thanked the United States Secret Service and Law Enforcement for their “rapid response on the shooting.” He said: “It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead."
