to the white house as he had spoken to jump the numbers as well. thank you for joining us. former president, donald trump has been wounded and bought the f. b i is calling and assassination attempt. trump was addressing a campaign valley in pennsylvania. when the shots were fired, let's take a look at what happened. secret service officer, very rushing onto the stage and the point to the ground for a couple. trump the most with blood on a video. we're looking at was pictures from that value right now. he then went on to raise as fast as he was being taken over his level stairs and secret service officer said they have now created the show to

the yes we are is identifying him as a 20 year old man from pennsylvania and a statement on from source to meet up that's on to the social trump has tanks, the united states secret service for the rapid response. trump has said i was shocked with the bullet appear on the upper part of my i do. i knew immediately that something was wrong. i heard a whizzing sound shots and immediately felt the blood dripping to the skin, much bleeding took place. so i realized then what was happening. i'm on the story, i'm large now joined by the go because one a genetic do milan who is in washington dc. jeanette, we know that they have identified the shooter. what more have the door to? yes, so let me show in a statement released by the f b i. the shooter has now been identified as a thomas matthew probity is thought to be true is uh 20 years old. from that little

part of pensylvania, that is a suburbs in metropolitan, pittsburgh. and they did not say much else in that statement. besides that, reminding people again that this is still an active investigation. there have been some details emerging about him that he's a registered republican and that he's a gun enthusiasts, but we have not been able to identify a independently verify, excuse me, those details. now of course, so because his name is out there, the investigation of course, is quickly going to focus on what's the motive would have been there is no information on that at the moment. we don't know if this was ideologically motivated. we don't know if there is a mental health cause of that uh that caused him to do this. these are all things that are currently being examined by law enforcement or shortly before this name

was released, law enforcement, the f b, i local law enforcement, tell the press conference and they will how did with questions by the press about how exactly this happened. how did they react indeed, so 1st of all, that briefing started by them telling, telling reporters the dimensions of this investigation, the f. b i of course, is leading this multi agency effort. so you can imagine teams of intelligence analysts trying to get to the mode of teams of even bombs, specialist is an investigative teams. now of course uh under represented at that briefing was the secret service and there were, there are going to be a lot of questions for them. for example, when the f b, i representative at the briefing was asked about how, how it was possible that the shooter got so close to the free for said that. so he

was surprised at that as well. and that is definitely a question to for the secret service, who is a for so responsible for securing then use like this saw for principals like on a former president, donald trump. they also said a few things in that briefing, for example, is that they're not ruling out that they're not taking for granted that this was a lone wolf attacked. they were also saying that there was no reason before hand to suspect to suspect threats on the former president's life. but the message that they kept returning to was that this was an active investigation. there are a lot of stones that they still have to turn. this may all take some time still, but they will be re releasing reports and details as they go along. as we did as we did see, they did release that name in the last hour alone. so this is something that we are just going to have to be following very closely. a lot of for on the security

services, of course. but let's take a look now at the political reaction, janelle stay with us. let's listen to preston a bite and we spoke softly off to valley. there's no place in america who is kind of sick. it's 6. weather as well as united country cannot allow for this to be happening. we cannot be like this. we cannot condone this. the bottom line is the re, trump rally, is a rally that he should have. an intellect can be conducted peacefully without any problem. with the idea, the idea that there's political violence or violence in america like this, the system part of it is not appropriate. everybody, everybody must, could get. everybody shut out strong and for tatic, what's the from the president? we know that since that speech she has spoken to trump. now can we expect a softening invite and scan pain against some

i think for the moment his campaign team has definitely decided that there is an appropriate center to take up this moment in time. and it is a certain softening just uh, to contrast that yesterday i was out a riley, one of president biden's raleigh's. and he was lauded in that raleigh for just how much he went on the offensive against trump. he called trump and hinge, he called up. he reminded his supporters there that trump is a convicted felon, but of course this is not taught. this is not the message that he could be delivering about trump. today. we also learned that they have pulled all the campaign ads in this a following up following this attack. of course, here in the you was the adversarial campaign ads are a very popular political tool. this is a different to other countries. attack ads are very, very normal. here, but it's just not, it's just not deemed appropriate at this time. and you can tell that what president

biden is trying to do there is at the very least he's trying not to make things worse. he is trying to deliver words that can in no way be perceived as inflammatory, who's trying to lower the temperature and try to bring stability into the discourse as to not stoke any divisions or steer the part in any way. that's quite a shift from the bible. campaign all his democrats falling in line. yeah, so from what i can see in the aftermath of the attack on up on former president donald trump, for one of the 1st on the crowd to him. but one of the 1st prominent democrats to emerge with a message was former president for rock obama. he said died, so there was no place for political violence in society. house minority leader hakim jeffries out a sometime later, with a similar kind of message. so it really does appear that what the democrats are

trying to do in this moment is make sure to stay on that message. this message about how there is no place for political violence. donald trump should have been able to perform his riley without any kind of incident. he should have been able to do that in peace. lots of lots of thoughts and prayers, of course, coming from the democrat quarters. and i can imagine that this is the kind of messaging that we will continue to see and the hours to come. and this is one that they would have to stick to the democrats. definitely trying to lower the temperature there. but we also know that from supporters will be having quite a reaction. we have an eye witness, which was the bbc secret, clearly see the gun man with his rifle before the sorts of fire, uplift them into that fitness. we noticed the guy crawling army you know, bare for rolling out the roof of the building beside us. 5050 feet away from us. so

we're standing there. you know, we're pointing, we're pointing out the guy, crowing up the roof and he had a gun right. he had a rifle, right. we could clearly see him with the rifle. absolutely. we're pointing out them . the police are down there running around on the ground. we're like, hey man, this guy on the roof with a frightful, in the police, are like hard work. you know, like, like you, you know, what's going on, you know, we're like, hey, raise you and what we can see it from right here. we see him, you know, he's, he's calling this and next thing, you know, i'm like, i'm thinking of myself. i'm like, why is trump still speaking? why have they not pulled him up the stage? i'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, 2 or 3 minutes secret service was looking at us from the top of the barn. i'm pointing at that roof, just janitor like this. and next thing you know, by transferring out, that is quite an allegation vision, as we know what the secret service has not commented on this. and this thing the investigation is underway have to be able to learn more from them and time to come

. but what is the reaction from the, from scam, given this a patent breach of security. and you know, his supporters as well as the republicans or you know what i me so we also have those images of trust as he's being wished to his motorcade by secret service. so before he got into the car, he raises his face defiantly. his supporters tier and then after that moment they start his supporters, that as they start turning to the media and jeering and saying, this is your fault. so they are already angry. they are already perhaps so seeking sources of blame. and of course, so these are, these are, these are trump supporters, they're not traditionally. and they're, they're traditionally also quite wary of institutions. and i can also imagine that as the investigation continues, they will have a lot of questions, of course, for the bodies that are governing those investigations. now we've also heard of

from more prominent republicans who also came out with remarks that perhaps we're not we're, we're a bit of a contrast to what the democrats had been saying earlier to try and lower that temperature as we've been saying. but uh, we heard, for example, from a republican law maker marjorie taylor green. she said something to the effect of it have, may god have mercy on our enemies because we won't have mercy on them. so that is, that almost sounds like a threat. you had one other lawmaker like collins saying that so joe biden should be investigated for inciting, and assassination attempts that he believes a joe biden gave an order. so, statements like these, they can really serve to escalate the tension in volatility. that is obviously so clearly present and that a time of great political division in this country. one can imagine that that would

only make things worse. i mean, those are definitely some really and send you the statements to know. and those images like you pointed out, are going to also, perhaps for work reaction to us is already so divided. what does this mean going forward for the country? i think it points to a very difficult path ahead. now we do spend a lot of time traveling around the country. we talk to vitamin supporters, we talk to trump supporters and we do find out that's out to be for one can very often means to be very much against the other. and that is a situation that fuels a drift towards the extremism on, on either side. and when you do have that drift towards extremes, that you do have a disappearing middle, a disappearing space for civil discourse. and this is probably why we have been seeing all those calls to return to call to return to,

to return to return civility to political discourse. because this is in a situation where it all stands to get worse. so finding home is going to be very, very important. i think what will be key in the next hours. and then the next stage is what message of donald trump has to deliver to his supporters. you can really do a lot in terms of defense in terms of determining the attitude that his supporters will take and his and therefore shaping what the rest of the discussion around the country. it will look like definitely quick points for the job years to know. do one on and washington dc and thank you so much for tracking this developing story for us. and a quick reminder what people just talking about the former president donald trump has been injured. and while the yes we are is calling an assassination attempt of
