The 20-year-old man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday was described by former classmates as a bullied loner with a penchant for hunting outfits and video games.
Donald Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was loner ‘relentlessly’ bullied in high school: classmate
Crooks – who graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022 – was a loner who was “relentlessly” bullied, former classmate Jason Kohler told KDKA.The classmate also provided the outlet with two photos of Crooks that were taken during his high school years – including one that showed the future would-be assassin sitting at a desk in a Bethel Park sweatshirt.
When he turned 18 the following September, however, he registered with the Republican Party, online state records showed. “He never outwardly spoke about his political views or how much he hated Trump or anything,” another Bethel Park High graduate, Sarah D’Angelo, told The Wall Street Journal Sunday morning.
He also received a $500 National Math and Science Initiative Star Award during his graduating year, TribLive reported.
