The channel’s owner, Mark Carricker, said in a video posted on Monday that the channel did not speak about politics “I don’t want any violence or hate around me,” Carricker said Crooks fired shots from the roof of a building near the rally, killing Corey Comperatore, 50, of Buffalo Township, and wounding two others. Trump later said on social media that a bullet pierced the upper part of his right ear. Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022. He then attended Community College of Allegheny County, where he earned an associate’s degree with honors in engineering science in May. He and Radcliffe attended Abraham Lincoln Elementary school in Bethel Park together where they were close friends but drifted as they grew older Both men attended CCAC’s South Campus together although they would only speak on occasion to catch up During these encounters Radcliffe said he would often observe that Crooks couldn’t seem to stay still Radcliffe said Crooks told him while on campus that he was planning to get all of his credits and transfer to Penn State was blocked off by law enforcement Sunday morning and continued to have restricted access on Thursday A police officer was stationed near the home Police said they do not know how much longer the Crooks’ house will remain closed to the public and that the goal is to make the community feel safer Crooks worked as a dietary aide at Bethel Park Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center saw Crooks at least once a school year and described him as a “get to the point” type of student at Bethel Park High School had the same statistics class in Crooks’ senior year He was known for doing well on the exams and was in several upper level classes “He would do a smirk,” Lewis said when people would call out to him in the hallway One of Crooks’ former classmates told several media outlets that Crooks was bullied in high school and viewed as an outcast vehemently disagreed with that characterization While Crooks did not hang out with a large group in high school In high school Nebiolo said he never heard anyone talk negatively about Crooks “He was a chill dude who decided to do his own thing,” Nebiolo said “It’s kind of annoying that everyone is going online and (expletive) on this kid.” Lewis said Crooks never sat alone at lunch and always had the same group of friends Nebiolo remembers sitting with Crooks everyday during lunch in 6th grade He said everyone gave him the nickname “TCrooks.” As a freshman in high school Crooks tried out for the school’s rifle team but was rejected for poor marksmanship and was a member of the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club, a shooting range about 11 miles away from Bethel Park, as reported by The Associated Press “The Club is unable to make any additional commentary in relation to this matter in light of pending law enforcement investigations the Club fully admonishes the senseless act of violence that occurred on Saturday,” said Rob S who asked not to be named for fear of violence said she has lived near his house for over 30 years and never saw Crooks outside until a month ago when he started walking around the neighborhood “When he was walking down the street he kept his head down,” she said When Crooks was 17 he donated $15 to a group called the Progressive Turnout Project, which attempts to boost Democratic voter turnout He then later registered as a Republican when he was old enough to vote Nebiolo said he does not remember Crooks being particularly political Knapp said Crooks had no academic or social issues during his time at Bethel Park High School and never expressed any political leanings to him Megan Trotter is a TribLive staff writer.

The Seesaw Center is a nonprofit that serves infants through preschoolers and their caregivers by providing fortification against winter cabin fever and an opportunity for children and adults to make new friends the Center offers an indoor space where parents of the very young can relax and entertain their children and themselves away from domestic hassles The space contains a selection of toys designed to relieve the struggles of stay-at-home parents and caregivers “Our main mission is to provide a place where parents can come to play with their kids away from the stresses of life,” says center coordinator Thelma Zanone The Seesaw Center was established in the early 1990s when a South Hills mothers’ group grew too big to meet in its members’ living rooms The moms decided to start a formal playspace that could accommodate a large number of children and their parents through the long winter months they reorganized in the basement of the Lutheran Church in Castle Shannon The current cohort of parents includes caregivers who played at the Seesaw Center when they were children The Center, which can accommodate as many as 35 children at one time, is open six days a week and offers evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Its selection of toys includes climbing structures, several ride-in and ride-on cars, train sets, basketball hoops, building equipment, kitchens, dolls, dress-up equipment, musical instruments and, most popular, a rice table Members can reserve the location on Saturday afternoons for private parties. The Center also hosts events, like last Saturday’s opening party where kids of all ages enjoyed having their faces painted Halloween and Christmas parties and plans are afoot to offer classes for parents Membership costs $75 per child for unlimited attendance and $50 for nights and weekends parents pay $100 for five to 15 children and $125 for 16 to 30
