Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a bullied loner, his former classmates have said. They added that Crooks had a penchant for hunting outfits and video games. Crooks, 20, was killed by Secret Service snipers after he opened fire on the former president. The suspect graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022. Crooks’ former classmate Jason Kohler told KDKA that the suspect was “relentlessly” bullied. Crooks often wore “‘hunting’” outfits to class. Crooks reportedly donated $15 to the liberal ActBlue political action committee back in 2021, on Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day. The following September, he turned 18 and registered with the Republican Party, according to online state records. Dig deeper.
