Suspect described as 'lonely,' 'quiet'
Former classmates of the suspected shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, described him to ABC News as a student who was "quiet" and did not have many friends.
"He was somebody who came across as lonely a lot," said Jameson Myers, who said he attended both elementary and high school with Crooks.
Myers described him as "more socially reserved" and someone who "didn't have a ton of friends."
But he said he never heard Crooks discuss politics or, specifically, Donald Trump.
"I was friends with him. He never acted, like, by any means, a political revolutionary," Myers said. "Was a very nice, even sweet guy, from what I knew."
Another classmate, Zoe Materkowski, said he was "just a quiet kid."
Added Jason Kohler, a classmate: "He was a loner. He would sit alone at lunch."
Another classmate described him as "smart" and "kind."
