Who is Trump-hating assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks?

Thomas Matthew Crooks is the 20-year-old who attempted to assassinate Trump and was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene.

Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022.

He was registered to vote as a Republican, according to a listing in the Pennsylvania voter database that matched his name, age and a Bethel Park address.

This year's presidential election would be the first in which he was old enough to vote.

Crooks' father, Matthew Crooks, told CNN he was trying to figure out "what the hell was going on" but would wait until he spoke to law enforcement.

Of the shooting, Donald Trump said he was shot in the upper right ear.

The Secret Service said one person was killed in public and two others were seriously injured.

Officers killed the attacker at the scene.


"I'm Thomas Mathew Crooks! I hate Republicans I hate Trump and guess what? You're messing with the wrong guy," Thomas said in a video posted on TikTok.
