Gunman flew drone over Trump rally area before shooting: FBI chief

NO CLEAR MOTIVE

Wray told members of the House Judiciary Committee that investigators “do not yet have a clear picture of his motive”.

“We’re not seeing that yet, but we are digging hard because this is one of the central questions for us,” the FBI chief said.

He said the gunman “appears to have done a lot of searches of public figures, in general” but “there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of rhyme or reason to it so far”.

“Sarting somewhere around July 6 or so, he became very focused on former president Trump and this rally,” Wray said.

“On Jul 6, he did a Google search for quote: ‘How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?'” he said, a reference to the 1963 assassination of US President John F Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald.

There is no evidence at this time that Crooks had any accomplices or co-conspirators, the FBI chief said.
