Breaking News : Christian Coleman has finally completed his……
Jameson Myers, who said he attended both elementary and high school with the suspect, Thomas Matthew Crooks, spoke to ABC News after the shooting, which left one rallygoer dead and two others injured.
Myers told ABC News Crooks had tried to join their high school’s rifle team, but was rejected and told not to try out again.
“He didn’t just not make the team, he was asked not to come back because how bad of a shot he was, it was considered like, dangerous,” Myers said.
Myers graduated in 2022 with Crooks. According to CBS News, Myers was in the Bethel Park High School varsity rifle team. He told CBS he and Crooks were close in elementary school but not in high school.
Another anonymous rifle team member told ABC News that people believed Crooks “wasn’t really fit” to join them.
“He also shot terrible,” the team member said.
But Myers added that Crooks, who was killed at the scene by Secret Service agents, never acted like a “political revolutionary” and that he was a “very nice, even sweet guy.”
The rifle team’s coach declined to respond to ABC News’ queries. The school district told the outlet that Crooks had “never appeared on a roster” and that there was “no record” of him trying out.
