WORLD, July 16 (YPA) – American media outlets have revealed new and unexpected details about Thomas Crooks who tried to assassinate former President Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania.
According to the New York Post, Thomas tried to join the shooting team at his high school, Bethel Park, but was rejected for being a “terrible” shot and making “off-color” jokes.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was killed by Secret Service agents after he fired an AR-style rifle at Trump, injuring him in his right ear. One person was killed, and two others sustained critical injuries.
American media reported that Thomas Crooks had no criminal history, and authorities have not yet determined the motive behind his attempt to assassinate Trump.
Currently, multiple federal agencies are involved in the investigation, and law enforcement officials are treating the shooting as an attempted assassination.
On Monday, the Republican Party announced Trump as its official candidate for the upcoming US presidential election.
Trump appeared at the Republican Party conference in Milwaukee with a bandage on his injured ear.
