Clairton

Crooks would go on to join an area shooting range, the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club, the BBC reported.

Thomas Matthew Crooks belonged a shooting club based in Clairton, Pa., nearly nine miles from his family home in Bethel Park.

Attorney Robert S. Bootay III confirmed to The Times that Crooks, who was shot and killed by Secret Service agents Saturday, was a member of the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club.

The Clairton Sportsmen’s Club, on 180 acres south of Pittsburgh, bills itself as offering “one of the premier shooting facilities in the tri-state area” and has more than 2,000 members.

The environmental groups sued in 2019, after a Christmas Eve fire at the Clairton coke works plant caused $40 million in damage.
