The Pennsylvania man who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump during a rally on Saturday tried out for his high school’s rifle team, but he was rejected for being a “terrible” shot and making “off-color” jokes.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, killed a hero Trump supporter and wounded two others when opened fire on the Butler Farm Show grounds with an AR-style rifle Butler Farm Show grounds. But, he only grazed the former President before he was shot dead by the Secret Service.
A few years before the assassination attempt, Crooks tried out for the rifle team at Bethel Park High School, two former classmates told The Post.
