Photos of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, are being circulated on social media.

Crooks was shot immediately after he began shooting. The Secret Service snipers neutralized Crooks as soon as they caught him. He was found with an AR-style semi-automatic assault rifle and was wearing a shirt promoting the popular gun YouTube channel Demolition Ranch, which has over 11 million subscribers.

An X user shared a video in which, Crooks is seen speaking against Donald Trump and saying, 바카라śI hate Trump바카라ť. However, in the end, he says, 바카라śyou got the wrong guy바카라ť. This has sparked divided opinions about the person in the video. Some people believe it바카라™s the shooter Crooks while some are calling it fake and that person is the assassin바카라™s lookalike.

A photo shows Crooks, blood all over, positioned on the roof of a manufacturing plant over 130 yards away from the rally at Butler Farm Show grounds when he fired at Trump, grazing the former president바카라™s ear and killing one attendee.

A former classmate, who confirmed the photos of Crooks, said, 바카라śHe didn바카라™t seem like really weird or anything. I would have pegged him as a Republican.바카라ť The classmate added that Crooks was more of a loner, with few friends, and speculated that he may not have returned to school after the COVID-19 pandemic, as he wasn바카라™t in the 2022 yearbook.

바카라śI saw a post of his name and that he lived in Bethel Park, so I looked him up and he lives 0.3 miles away,바카라ť said neighbor Dan Maloney, 30. 바카라śI went down there and spoke to the county bomb squad at 1:06 am. He said he was about to go into the house. I didn바카라™t know the guy. No one in this neighborhood really talks to each other.바카라ť
