Mary Elizabeth Crooks and Matthew Brian Crooks, the parents of the 20-year-old who recently fired shots at former President Trump, are licensed professional counselors in Pennsylvania. According to records from the Pennsylvania Department of State Licensing System Verification service, both Mary and Matthew have been licensed as professional counselors since 2002, and their licenses are active until February 2025.
The family home of Thomas Matthew Crooks is currently under investigation by the FBI following the shooting incident at a Trump rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The motive behind Crooks’ actions is still unclear, but records show that he was registered as a Republican voter. However, campaign finance reports indicate that he donated $15 to a progressive political action committee on the day President Biden was inaugurated.

As the story continues to develop, the public is eager to understand what led to this violent act and what implications it may have for future security measures at political events.
