As soon as shooting broke out, snipers from the Secret Service silenced the Crooks. His attire had the emblem of Demolition Ranch, a well-known
YouTube channel devoted to firearms, and he was discovered in possession of an assault weapon with an AR type of semiautomatic operation.
The unexpected revelation that he was formerly in an ad for BlackRock, a major global financial firm, has caused quite a stir.
Reuters was informed by BlackRock on Sunday that Crooks, along with other unpaid students, was a student at Bethel Park High School and featured in the 2022 advertisement.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was one of numerous unpaid students who briefly featured in the backdrop of an advertisement that aired in 2022, according to the company’s statement, which confirmed the removal of the commercial.
