It is noted that it is currently unclear why Crooks shot at the former US president.
Kevin Rogack, special agent in charge of the FBI's Pittsburgh office, said the agency was working to identify the shooter using "biometric confirmation" because the suspect did not have any identification documents on him, CNN reports.
"Now we are looking at photos, trying to analyze his DNA and get biometric confirmation," he said.
When asked whether the authorities knew what kind of weapon was used and how many shots were fired, Rogack said that no one had such information.
