He was immediately “neutralised” by the Secret Service after the shooting.
Witnesses said it wasn’t clear where the shots were coming from, with Pennsylvania police officer Lt Col George Bivens saying afterwards that “the shots were scattered somewhat and so they weren’t just into one particular location.”
Police said they were “not taking for granted that this was a lone wolf attack”.
Law enforcement also said during a news conference this morning that there were suspicious packages around where the gunman was.
A body with a rifle beside it was visible to members of the public on the roof of a building near the rally after the attack.

‘The guy… he looks dead’
Investigators said earlier that they wouldn’t release details of the weapon used just yet.
FBI special agent Kevin Rojek said at a news conference that investigators had not yet identified a motive for the shooting.
National security analyst Frank Figliuzzi, explaining what will be happening as part of the investigation, told NBC that the “full panoply of the FBI will be involved”.
He said that “more immediately, all of the social media and computer devices of this shooter, all the interviews of his co-workers, family, neighbours – all of that”.
“His entire life history will be reconstructed rather rapidly and the goal here will be to see was anyone else involved, is this part of a larger conspiracy? Was there anything that could’ve been done to head this off or intervene?” he added.
“They’ll be looking at his weapon, where it came from, was it purchased legally or not? Was he trained as a sniper ever, in any profession that he may have held? And of course, what was his motive?”
Early on Sunday, the airspace over Bethel Park in Pennsylvania – Crooks’ hometown – was closed “immediately” for security reasons.
