Trump Shooter Wasn’t a Member of Rifle Team and Wasn’t Bullied, School Says

The man who shot at former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on July 13 was never a member of a local high school’s rifle team and wasn’t bullied, despite previous reports, according to the Bethel Park School District.

In an updated statement published on its website on July 20, the school district issued a comment titled “correcting the record,” which disputed several claims about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the gunman identified by the FBI, in news reports over the past week. Previously, the district confirmed that he had attended Bethel Park High School in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, and had graduated in 2022.
