“He didn’t want attention, good or negative,” said Julianna Grooms, 19, who first remembered seeing Mr. Crooks when they were freshmen.
The Bethel Park School District confirmed that Mr. Crooks graduated from high school in 2022, but declined to release any other details about his school record.
“He was a very good student,” said Mr. Knapp, who retired two years ago as a guidance counselor.
“He liked the idea of being by himself because that was his human nature,” Mr. Knapp said.
Mr. Crooks had been a member of the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club, a gun club that features a 200-yard-rifle range.
