What We Know About Thomas Matthew Crooks, The Suspected Trump Rally Shooter by BrosG007: 11:21am On Jul 15 |
Thomas Matthew Crooks (September 20, 2003 – July 13, 2024) was an American whose attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the former President of the United States and Republican Party nominee for the 2024 presidential election, shocked the nation on July 13, 2024. Here is a detailed biography of his life and the events surrounding the tragic incident. Early Life and Education Thomas Matthew Crooks was born on September 20, 2003, in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. Raised in a middle to upper-middle-class neighborhood, he was the son of two licensed social workers. Crooks attended Bethel Park High School, where he was known as an above-average student. Despite his academic achievements, he experienced bullying for his quiet demeanor and occasional unconventional attire, such as camouflage hunting outfits. Crooks had diverse interests, including playing chess, video games, and learning to code. His academic prowess was recognized when he received a $500 "star award" from the National Math and Science Initiative. Although he attempted to join his high school's rifle team, he did not make the cut due to challenges with marksmanship during tryouts. After graduating from high school in 2022, Crooks pursued further education at the Community College of Allegheny County, where he earned an associate degree in engineering science. Just two months before the tragic events of July 13, 2024, he completed his studies and began working as a dietary aide at a local nursing home. Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump 2024 On July 13, 2024, during a political rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, Thomas Matthew Crooks carried out a shocking act of violence. Armed with a rifle, he positioned himself on a nearby rooftop and fired at Donald Trump while the former President was delivering a speech. The gunfire injured Trump and two attendees, resulting in the death of 50-year-old Corey Comperatore and critical injuries to two others. Crooks' actions prompted an immediate response from the Secret Service Counter Assault Team, who swiftly neutralized him. The FBI launched an investigation into the incident to determine Crooks' motives, which remained unclear in the immediate aftermath. Thomas Matthew Crooks was a registered Republican, having activated his voter registration shortly after turning 18 in September 2021. Despite his political affiliation, he had only participated in voting during the 2022 midterm elections prior to the events of July 13, 2024.

He's a registered Republican who supported Democrats against Trump in 2021. They bought him over to assasinate Trump. And of course he's clearly a political party spy. That's what spies do and US is best known for that. 1 Like 1 Share |

COMRADES, the late shooter was deceived by the Democrats in their efforts to stop Trump from running, you can't tell me and expect me to believe that a 20 years old boy would conceive the intention of killing a presidential candidate just like that 1 Like |
