The FBI released FBI Director Christopher Wray's remarks at the scene of the attempted assassination of Former President Trump:
What we witnessed yesterday was nothing short of an attack on democracy and our democratic process.
An
attempt to assassinate a presidential candidate can only be described as
absolutely despicable and will not be tolerated in this country.
I
want to start by offering my deepest condolences to all the victims of
yesterday’s shooting and their families.
Our
hearts go out to the family of the individual who was killed, the two others
who were critically wounded, and, of course, former President Trump and his
family.
I
want to make sure they know—and the American people know—that the men and women
of the FBI are working tirelessly to get to the bottom of what happened.
The
shooter may be deceased, but the investigation is very much ongoing. And,
because of that, we are limited in what we say at this point.
But what I can say is that we have committed the full force of the FBI to this
investigation:
- Both
criminal and national security resources
- Tactical
support
- Evidence
response teams to help process the crime scene
- Victim
services specialists
- The FBI
Lab and our Operational Technology Division to process the physical
evidence recovered
We
also continue to operate our FBI Tip Line and encourage anyone with information
to reach out to us as soon as possible.
Both
in our FBI field office in Pittsburgh and in our command post at FBI
Headquarters, we continue to work closely with our federal, state, and local
partners, as we did throughout the night last night to ensure there was no
ongoing threat to former President Trump or to the people of Pennsylvania.
The
American people can rest assured that we will leave no stone unturned as we
work to get to the bottom of what happened yesterday.
Thank you again to all those who are hard at work on this investigation.
