Former classmates of the suspected shooter described him to ABC News as a student who was "quiet" and did not have many friends."He was somebody who came across as lonely a lot," said Jameson Myers, who said he attended both elementary and high school with the suspect.Myers said that Crooks "tended to be more of an interesting one” and described him as "more socially reserved" and someone who "didn't have a ton of friends." But he said he never heard Crooks discuss politics or, specifically, Donald Trump.“It's just crazy, because he didn't really seem like he would be the type to think to do that,” he said about his response to learning that Crooks was the suspected shooter.
