The gunman who tried to assassinate Donald Trump has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, according to reports.

The 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, fired shots at the former president from a roof 130 yards away from the rally stage.

Dramatic new video from the assassination attempt against Donald Trump shows the moment Secret Service sharp shooters fired at the gunman on a roof hundreds of yards away.

Crooks killed a member of the rally crowd, shot Trump through the year and was then shot and killed by Secret Service agents.

God Bless President Trump!
