Here is why the Trump rally gunman appeared in an ad for BlackRock, according to the asset manager.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman who opened fire at a Saturday rally for former President Donald Trump, once appeared in an advertisement for investment firm BlackRock, the company said Monday. The ad, which was produced in 2022, was filmed at Bethel Park High School, where Crooks was a student at the time. BlackRock filmed the spot, part of a series aimed at teachers managing their retirement assets, in a classroom led by a real teacher and which featured real students.
'In 2022, we ran an ad featuring a teacher from Bethel Park High School, in which several unpaid students briefly appeared in the background, including Thomas Matthew Crooks,' BlackRock said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch. 'We will make all video footage available to the appropriate authorities, and we have removed the video from circulation out of respect for the victims.
