evidence: The video’s assertions linking BlackRock to Crooks’ assassination attempt don’t align with the facts. BlackRock neither employed Crooks nor owned the Butler, Pennsylvania, building from which Crooks fired his AR-15-style weapon, killing one person and injuring three, including Trump. [...] Featured Fact-check "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 Spokesperson Christopher Berger told PolitiFact in an email. All of the company’s related footage was being shared with investigators, Berger said. Before he was killed by theSecret Service moments after the shooting, Crooks worked as a dietary aide at a nursing home in Bethel Park. [...] A viral Facebook video claimed BlackRock employed Crooks and owned the building Crooks fired the shots from as he tried to assassinate Trump. Crooks appeared briefly in a BlackRock ad filmed at his school but was neither paid for the spot nor otherwise employed by the company. County records show American Glass Research, not BlackRock, owns the building from which Crooks took aim.
