Sarah D'Angelo, a former classmate of Trump shooting suspect Thomas Matthew Crooks at Bethel Park High in Pennsylvania, said Crooks had not broadcast any strong political views in school.
"He never outwardly spoke about his political views or how much he hated Trump or anything," she said in an interview Sunday morning. D'Angelo, who graduated from the same high school as Crooks in 2022 said he had "a few friends," but "didn't have a whole friend group." She recalled him playing games on his laptop during homeroom before the school day began.
The shooter from former President Donald Trump's rally on Saturday had explosive material inside his car and residence, according to multiple law enforcement sources.
This is starting to sound like your typical American mass shooter...Donated to Democrats then registered as Republican, wears the shirt of a pro-gun/right-leaning YouTube channel, no obvious political leanings in High School...Has explosives and shot more than one person...Just looks like he wanted to do a mass shooting and the Trump rally was the "perfect" target for his mind.
Fits the profile of most mass shooters in America.
Maybe they'll find a motive, if it's the case that he's just your typical nutjob mass shooter, I suspect America will once again ignore the issue.
