“QUIET”
Crooks’ former schoolmates described him as a “quiet” student who often came across as “lonely,” ABC News reported.
But although he seemed “socially reserved,” a former schoolmate did not recall hearing him discuss politics or Trump, according to ABC.
Trump, 78, was hit in the ear at the rally. A bystander was killed and two spectators critically injured in the worst act of US political violence in decades.
Jason Kohler, who said he attended the same high school as Crooks, said the alleged shooter had often been bullied.
“He was quiet but he was just bullied. He was bullied so much,” Kohler told reporters.
He said Crooks had been made fun of for the way he dressed, noting that he would sometimes wear hunting outfits.
