US President Joe Biden addressed the nation after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, urging Americans to “lower the temperature” and to resolve differences at the ballot box and not through bullets. “We cannot allow this violence to be normalised,” he said.
The FBI said the motive of the suspected gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, remains unclear and that it is investigating the shooting as “potential domestic terrorism”.
The Secret Service said there will be no changes to the convention’s security plan. “We are fully prepared,” a spokeswoman said.
