- A receipt showing his 15$ donation to ActBlue, a democrat party organization:
He was bullied frequently, as mentioned by this schoolmate of his:
ABC news says he tried to join the school's rifle club, but was denied entry, because of his terrible aim.
(screenshot from the ABC news article)
Another schoolmate of his said that he was very passionate about history and government. He was also described by some as a 'loner'.

His parents are Matthew Brian Crooks and Mary Elizabeth Crooks [nee Frizzy, possibly]. They are both 53 years old, as of today's date, and are both behavioural counsellors. He may have an older sister, Katherine Crooks. She is 22 years old as of today's date. (info from CNN and USphonebook)
Thomas's mother, Mary, made a post on Twitter, mentioning that her son "had some mental issues and was dealing with built-up anger from bullies". I have not yet seen this video, please attach it in a comment if you've seen it. (I am starting to believe this may be false information)
More information about his household
His father Matthew Brian Crooks is a psychologist and has authored many academic books. He currently works at Community Care Behavioral Health. He is a certified Rehabilitation Counselor and works with people with depression. His mother is called Mary Elizabeth Crooks (born as Mary Elizabeth Frizzy) and is a registered counselor, but has previously taught in a primary school. She might currently be a homemaker. They are both registered democrats. Thomas is registered republican and has donated to democratic parties prior to registration of a republican. However, this does not have to mean a whole lot.
βThe family's annual income is reported to be $310,000. His parents seem to be from Scottish heritage. Thomas was born in September 2003. His parents identify as Jewish. Both of his parents also seem to work as licensed behavioral counselors in Pennsylvania. ββThe newspaper reporter that he received a $500 "star award" from the National Math and Science Initiative. He made a $15 donation to ACTBLUE when he was 17 years old. Thomas Crooks and his parents have been living separately for two years now. He allegedly had a big fight with his father before moving out of the house at the age of 18. Thomas has previously stayed with his grandparents but soon moved out after getting reprimanded for taking drugs.
ββ
Thomas crooks has reportedly come up in several intelligence reports recently. He is known for his extreme views and involvement in violent incidents. Investigations into Crooks' background reveal links to radical groups, including online associations with people promoting drastic actions against perceived enemies, however, this cannot be confirmed. His parents denied having any knowledge about his use of guns or radical ideology. They however admitted that they were aware of his assaults on fellow students in college.
ββ
Thomas was purportedly part of Antifa actions (Minneapolis Demonstration 2021), marked by confrontations with police and incidents of arson. He was twice released on bail with the help of his parents. His father reported to CNN that he is waiting for law enforcement to finish what needs to be finished before he will release a statement about the situation.

In the image below you can see the shirt Thomas was wearing. This T-shirt promotes a gun YouTube channel, Demolition Ranch. The founder Matt Carriker has seen this and has responded on his Instagram with the three words "What the heck".

Then there is this story about his mother and her statement. This is completely fake and false. I will provide the screenshots anyway:

I posted all the stuff I found (including things I found from rDrama ) onto WPD because they had dedicated megathreads that the authors actually updated, but the info's kind of lost in the comments. There's no pagination, so you have to just keep clicking "view more comments". (I think @Aevann said he wasn't interested in adding pagination for threads.)
I really wanted to know the shooter's social media, but apparently he had almost no social media presence.

Good. WPD is overrun by edgy emo queens, zigger, and unironic jihadis (nice glowie bat tbqh). And then a snattering of HailVictory1776-style brain-fried rightoids.
It sucks is what im saying, and no amount of chinks spattered on the pavement can make up for that
