Former classmates of the suspected shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, described him to ABC News as a “quiet” student who did not have many friends.

“He was someone who often seemed lonely,” said Jameson Myers, who said he attended both elementary and high school with Crooks.

Myers described him as “socially reserved” and someone who “didn’t have many friends.”

However, he said he never heard Crooks talk about politics or Donald Trump in particular.

“I was friends with him. He never acted like a political revolutionary,” Myers said. “As far as I knew, he was a very nice, even sweet guy.”

Another classmate, Zoe Materkowski, said he was “just a quiet kid.”

Jason Kohler, a classmate, added: “He was a loner. He always sat alone at lunch.”

Classmate Robert Abraham described him as “smart” and “kind.”
