BETHAL PARK, Pa. – The parents of the 20-year-old who unleashed a barrage of gunfire toward former President Trump are licensed professional counselors through the Pennsylvania social work board.
Mary Elizabeth Crooks and Matthew Brian Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, are licensed as professional counselors, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State Licensing System Verification service.
The 20-year-old attempted assassin's parents both have active licenses, the service said.
Both Mary and Matthew's licenses expire in February 2025, and they have been professional counselors since 2002, the records showed.
