Thomas Matthew Crooks: From College Honors Society to University Transfer
Thomas Matthew Crooks was a member of an academic group in college — and before he tried killing Donald Trump, he was all set to transfer to a university … TMZ has learned.
An official with Community College of Allegheny County — where TMC graduated with high honors on May 16 — told us the gunman was a member of Phi Theta Kappa … which is an honors society, and he was part of the local chapter.
If you go to their Facebook page, you’ll see they were pretty involved with extracurriculars — getting together for events, attending conventions and talking shop in and around the school. From the looks of it … there are no photos of Thomas on their socials.
TMC majored in Engineering Science and graduated with an Associate’s degree in Science … while at the school from 2021 through May of this year. This jibes with what we already knew about him — namely, that he went to a technical training school during high school.
Also of note … we’re told there are no records relating to any disciplinary, student conduct or security-related incidents involving Thomas — so as far as they can see, not a troublemaker.
