Thomas Matthew Crooks, the individual who attempted to assassinate former President Trump and subsequently died, recently graduated with a degree in engineering science from the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC). The school confirmed his graduation just two months ago.

Following the tragic incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Crooks attempted the assassination, CCAC expressed shock and sadness. They also extended their sympathies to the family of Corey Comperatore, who tragically lost his life while protecting his wife and family from the gunfire unleashed by Crooks.

CCAC assured full cooperation with law enforcement as the investigation into the events unfolds. The college pledged to provide information in accordance with their policies and law enforcement practices.

During the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Crooks, aged 20, managed to sneak onto a roof and open fire at former President Trump. Corey Comperatore heroically shielded his family from the bullets but tragically lost his life in the process. Additionally, David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74, sustained injuries from the stray bullets intended for Trump.
