![Alleged Trump Shooter's Troubled Past Revealed](/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Thomas-Matthew-1-780x470.jpg)
Remarkably, during a speech at an election meeting, a bullet scratched the ex-President of the USA, Donald Trump’s ear, and people froze for a moment. The alleged shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, of 20 years of age, fired from a rooftop and was shot dead by agents from the Secret Service.
Crooks’ past has manifested its instability in the event, and people have learned about it recently. From his high schoolmate Jameson Myers, it was revealed that Crooks had attempted to enroll in the school rifle team, but his efforts prevailed with a blunt refusal for him never being drilled to hit the target. He was asked not to attend the classes again.
Of course, it did not end there; due to his awful shot, he was not only cut from the team but fired from it—he was considered dangerous.
In addition, in an anonymous interview with a rifle team member, a general consensus was reached that Crooks “wasn’t really fit for the rifle team. ” However, while conducting the investigation, no evidence was found that Crooks was actually part of the rifle team; apparently, this school district does not list his name among the team members.
Crooks was characterized as a ‘quiet type, very smart fellow’ who was described as anti-social, a proclaimed ‘hermit when it comes to politics’, and a ‘Star Wars’ geek.
Despite his previously documented criminal history and known desire to murder Mr. insurance, he purchased an AR-style rifle and Committed the audacious attack on the former president.
This has caused a lot of controversy and people have begun to question the firearms policy and protection measures taken in such political meetings. Meanwhile, the nation is left to deal with the consequences of this savage attempted assassination.
