braking news on school

On Saturday, a 20-year-old man, Thomas Matthew Crooks, attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a rally in Washington. Crooks was initially noticed acting suspiciously outside the event, which prompted a search by law enforcement that was unsuccessful in locating him before he climbed onto a roof and opened fire. The shooting resulted in the death of an onlooker, Corey Comperatore, and injuries to two others. Crooks was subsequently shot and killed by Secret Service agents. The FBI is investigating the incident as a potential act of domestic terrorism, although no clear ideological motive has been established, leading to speculation. President Joe Biden urged the public not to speculate on Crooks' motives and to allow the FBI to conduct a thorough investigation.

Crooks, who had bomb-making materials in his car, appeared to have acted alone, according to the FBI, which found no threatening social media posts or ideological statements that could explain his actions. Crooks' family is cooperating with investigators. Despite being registered to vote as a Democrat and donating to a progressive political action committee, his political leanings and motives remain unclear.
Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022 and had been bullied during his time there, according to fellow students. He worked at a nursing home as a dietary assistant and had no prior criminal record. The director of the nursing home expressed shock at his involvement in the shooting.

The incident has raised questions about security measures at political events and the potential for lone actors to carry out violent acts. As the investigation continues, the public awaits further details on the events leading up to the attempted assassination.
