Hopefully they will be talking about this event for the next forty three years. Sadly this appears to be a continuation of the violence of BLM and COVID.

BETHEL PARK, Pennsylvania, July 14 (Reuters) - Federal law enforcement authorities scrutinized the background of Thomas Matthew Crooks on Sunday in a search for what drove the 20-year-old gunman to open fire on former U.S. President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in western Pennsylvania.
Crooks, identified by the FBI as the suspected gunman in the assassination attempt, was shot and killed by the Secret Service seconds after he allegedly fired shots toward a stage where Trump was speaking on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. One rally attendee, a 50-year-old man identified as Corey Comperatore, died and two other spectators were critically injured. Trump was shot in the right ear.
A resident of Bethel Park, about an hour away from where the shooting occurred, Crooks was a registered Republican who would have been eligible to cast his first presidential vote in the Nov. 5 election in which Trump is challenging President Joe Biden. Public records show his father is a registered Republican and mother a registered Democrat.
Federal Election Commission filings show Crooks appears to have made a small $15 donation several years ago to a political action committee called ActBlue that raises money for left-leaning and Democratic politicians. The donation was earmarked for the Progressive Turnout Project, a national group that rallies Democrats to vote. The groups did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Crooks' parents could not immediately be reached for comment by Reuters. His father, Matthew Crooks, 53, told CNN that he was trying to figure out what happened and would wait until he talked to law enforcement before speaking about his son.
Secret Service agents fatally shot the suspect, the agency said, after he opened fire from the roof of a building about 150 yards (140 meters) from the stage where Trump was addressing supporters. An AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle used in the shooting was recovered near his body, according to sources.
The firearm was legally purchased by the suspect's father, ABC and the Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources. Bomb-making materials were found in the suspect's car, U.S. media outlets reported, citing sources.

'SUPER SMART'
In the family's hometown, one of Thomas Crooks's former classmates at Bethel Park High School said the suspect did not show any particular interest in politics. Rather, his interests centered on building computers and playing games, the 20-year-old classmate, who asked not to be identified, said in an interview.
Crooks often kept to himself, the classmate said, and politics never came up. Their conversations revolved around school, the classmate said.
"He was super smart. That's what really kind of threw me off was, this was, like, a really, really smart kid, like he excelled," the classmate said. "Nothing crazy ever came up in any conversation."
The classmate added that he had not seen or heard from Crooks since the suspect graduated in 2022.
While in school, Crooks received a $500 "star award" from the National Math and Science Initiative, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review newspaper.

I'm not confident that those coming out of the contemporary US education system given the dominant wokeness can be qualified as "super smart". Though it probably says something about those capable of succeeding in such a system. It seems that the US education system may have had something to do with the shooters radicalization. It's very sad for the parents, bringing up their child with good principles, only to potentially have the schools take them away.

I suspect that male teachers have lost interest in teaching for a number of reasons including a male toxic environment and so there is a lack of balance in schools.

"He might be the attendee who is reported dead."

He was. His name is Corey Comperatore. Let's hope his name is mentioned more and remembered more than the vile shooter.

He died protecting his family, laying on top of them to shield them from the shots.

This is statement from his daughter. There is great evil in the world but there is also unsurpassed bravery and virtue.
