Trump Shooter’s School Releases Statement Claiming They Have No Records of Him Trying Out for Rifle Team

The Bethel Park School District has released a statement that claims Trump rally shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks never tried out for his school’s rifle team.

In a press release, The Bethel Park School District wrote, “It has been reported that Thomas Crooks was a member of the Bethel Park High School rifle team or tried out for it but was dismissed due to poor performance or because the coach had character concerns.”

The statement continued, “Thomas Crooks was never a member of the school’s rifle team, and we have no record of him trying out. The coach does not recall meeting him.”

However, The school noted, “The coach does not recall meeting him. However, it is possible that Crooks informally attended a practice, took a shot, and never returned. We don’t have any record of that happening.”

The new press release by the Bethel Park School District comes six days after the Associated Press reported Crooks tried out for his school’s rifle team but was not allowed on the team because he was a bad shooter.

Photos of Thomas Crooks at Butler Rally Prove Snipers Were 40 Feet from Him as Shots Rang Out

The information coming out from the Butler PA Trump Rally Shooting provided by authorities does not make sense. The federal narrative has been unwinding and falling apart the past week since the attempted assassination of President Trump.

Very limited information has emerged, usually in the form of selective leaks by the FBI to compliant media outlets.

Part of the story that has not made sense is how Thomas Matthew Crooks, aged 20, with no specialized training, was able to identify a very unique security flaw in the rally arrangements, find the one building that would give him a clear line of sight to kill President Trump, evade any engagement by law enforcement, and then end up on top of a building where a counter-sniper team was operating inside, all at the exact right times in order to try and kill President Trump.

The lack of clarity about where the counter-sniper team was in the building has contributed to the confusion.

Part of the story has been that unnamed police took a photograph of Crooks prior to the shooting.

The Gateway Pundit can exclusively reveal that the police who took the photo were those in the second floor of the AGR Building who inexplicably did not engage Crooks while on the roof, did not attempt to stop him from taking shots at President Trump, and whose presence is conspicuously absent from most mainstream media reporting on the rally shooting.

THEY KEEP CHANGING THEIR STORY: Feds Now Say a Local Sniper Also Shot at Crooks After He Started Firing on President Trump — This Only Took a Week to Report?

Fox News reported on Saturday – one full week after a would-be assassin shot President Donald Trump on stage in Butler, Pennsylvania – that a local sniper team DID fire off a shot during the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

In a critical development, it was revealed that not only did a Secret Service sniper take a successful “one in a million” shot to neutralize Crooks, but a local police sniper also attempted to intervene but unfortunately missed.

“A source familiar with the investigation tells me that, look, it took a single shot to kill the would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks. And that shot came from a secret service counter-sniper that the source says he described the shot as a one in a million type of shot. The counter-sniper could only see the top of the scope, his eye and forehead, because the lip of the AGR building that Crooks was on was obscuring that view. We’re also told a local police sniper took a single shot as well, but missed,” Fox News reporter Bryan Llenas reported.

Report: Analysis Reveals Third Weapon May Have Been Used In Trump Assassination Attempt

An audio analysis of the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump suggests that as many as three weapons were fired at the rally before the shooter was killed.

CNN published results of forensic analysis from Catalin Grigoras, director of the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver, and Cole Whitecotton, Senior Professional Research Associate from the same location.

This report alleged that three shots were fired by “weapon A,” and the next five were consistent with “weapon B.” Weapon A presumably would have been the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, while weapon B was most likely the Secret Service sniper who returned fire and killed Crooks.

However, the report also alleges that a possible weapon C emitted a final “acoustic impulse,” which may have belonged to a third, previously unknown shooter. 

Analysis has also confirmed the Crooks was between 360 and 393 feet from the podium, CNN reported, citing forensics expert Robert Maher, corroborating with reports that he was on a rooftop approximately 120-130 yards from the former president. 

Maher, a professor of audio forensics at Montana State University, told CNN that the sequence of shots was in a “crack-pop” sequence, before the “arrival of the corresponding muzzle blast sound.”

COVER-UP: FBI Tries to Kick Out Senator Josh Hawley at Assassination Attempt Site Despite Having Local Security Operator’s Permission — “Get Out of Here. You Shouldn’t Be on the Site”

During an explosive interview with Sean Hannity, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley revealed shocking information about the recent assassination attempt on President Trump.

Allegations of incompetence, lack of coordination, and a gross disregard for security protocols have been leveled against the Secret Service and other federal agencies involved in protecting the President.

Sean Hannity: Tell us what these whistleblowers are telling you that is most alarming to you.

Josh Hawley: Well, one thing is that most of the detail assigned to Trump that day, into that rally, were not Secret Service. Most of them were from other federal agencies, including Homeland Security. And, Sean, they weren’t prepared.

They didn’t know what the procedures were. They did not have the site locked down. They were not adequately patrolling the perimeter. As you just said a moment ago, they were leaving huge gaps.

Whistleblowers also tell us that they were allowing people to come into the grounds who weren’t checked. They weren’t monitoring who was getting up around the stage. I mean, it’s unbelievable, Sean.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday demanding answers on the attempted assassination attack on President Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania last weekend.

Senator Hawley wrote that whistleblowers have notified him that a majority of the security officials working the rally last weekend were not even Secret Service personnel but were with the Homeland Security Investigations team! They were not even trained Secret Service personnel!

Discovery of Drone Surveillance by Trump’s Shooter Reveals Additional Security Lapses

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the shooter who tried to kill Donald Trump at the rally in Pennsylvania, managed to fly a drone for aerial footage of the site, a few hours before the assassination attempt, the WSJ reports, citing law-enforcement officials familiar with the matter.

Crooks had flown the drone on a programmed flight path several times earlier in the day on July 13, to scour the Butler Farm Show grounds ahead of the event, the officials said. The discovery has raised more serious concerns over the reliability of the security services, the outlet notes.

What else has been revealed?

The use of the drone was just one way in which authorities said Crooks had planned his attack.

The perpetrator came to Trump’s rally with a pair of homemade bombs designed for detonation with remote control.

The authorities also found primitive explosives and a vest with three 30-round magazines in Crooks’ car. This suggests that he probably “wanted to cause greater carnage”, according to the article.

Crooks had also ordered several packages labeled “hazardous materials” to be shipped to his home in the past month. He also conducted online searches for Trump rally dates, and information on Biden and the Democratic National Convention.

On Saturday, a 20-year-old man tried to assassinate Trump at a campaign rally in the state of Pennsylvania, but the bullet from the gunman’s AR assault rifle grazed Trump’s right ear. US Secret Service agents killed the gunman moments after he was able to fire several rounds toward the stage, killing one spectator and critically injuring two others.

ASSASSIN EYE-WITNESS: Police Are Lying about Rooftop Confrontation of Alleged Sniper – “The Guys on the Second Floor Were Watching – But They Didn’t Do Anything!”

Last Saturday, in Butler, Pennsylvania, President Trump was shot in the ear and narrowly saved from a fatal head wound from an assassin’s bullet. Retired firefighter Corey Comperatore was fatally struck by a bullet, and two other pro-Trump rally-goers were seriously injured.

Over the last week, much of the federal narrative has broken down trying to explain the events. As the sniper’s body was recovered on the roof of the American Glass Research company’s warehouse in Butler, Pennsylvania, within a few days it emerged that snipers were in the second floor overlooking the sniper’s body in an adjoining building.

One often-repeated part of the official story is that a Butler County Sheriff’s Deputy climbed on top of the roof moments prior to the shooting to confront alleged shooter Thomas Crooks, and Crooks responded by pointing a weapon at the Deputy, who then fell off of an eight-foot ladder

Later reports claim that the deputy hurt his ankle and is now walking with a medical boot. Here’s the New York Post repeating that story nationally.

Beware President Trump-Zelenskiy Controlled By Clinton Machine

It was widely reported in the press yesterday that Ukrainian President Zelenskiy was going to accept a call from President Trump.

We wondered what was behind this, and received the following from a source in Kyiv:

Ukrainian government view is make friends with Trump because they chose wrong side previously and supported mr Biden.

Worth to know that the Green Usurper Zelenskyy is surrounded by advisors who are controlled by oligarch Pinchuk, who in turn is controlled by Obama-Clinton, Yermak who has ties to British special ops and Russian FSB, other oligarchs, criminals of all kinds and corruptioners.

Mr Trump spoke to a Snake in a Snakepit. The snakes are eating and setting up each other.

Jupiter, Florida Man Arrested Friday After Making Deadly Threats Against President Trump, J.D. Vance and Their Daughters

68-year-old Jupiter, Florida resident Michael Wiseman was arrested this week for making threats against President Trump, Senator J.D. Vance, and their children on Facebook.

Wiseman was arrested on Saturday morning.

Wiseman called on cancer patients to off the Republican ticket before they die. What a disgusting lunatic.

The Left Has Been Trying to Come Up With Wild Conspiracy Theories About the Trump Shooting, but They Are Failing Badly

Ever since the moment that Donald Trump was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the left has been pushing wild conspiracy theories all over the Internet.  Unfortunately for the left, their conspiracy theories are so ridiculous that most rational people immediately see right through them.  Yes, there are legitimate questions that need to be asked about what really happened at that rally, and I have been writing about many of those questions.  But to suggest that the assassination attempt was staged or that Trump was never hit by a bullet is just nuts.

As you will see below, the stuff that the left has been coming up with is straight out of crazy town.

It has been less than a week since Trump was shot, and already “false assassination narratives” have been viewed more than 100 million times on X, and many of those false narratives are being classified as “Blue Anon” conspiracy theories…

So-called ‘BlueAnon’ conspiracy theories — levelled by Left-­wingers — have clearly been thick on the ground this time, compounding the confusion spread by similarly paranoid or just ­trouble-making Trumpites.­

According to research group Institute for Strategic Dialogue, references to false assassination narratives amassed more than 100 million views on X in just 24 hours.

So what are some of the most common “Blue Anon” conspiracy theories that the left has been pushing?
