The building in Butler, Pennsylvania that Thomas Matthew Crooks used to fired shots that hit Donald Trump and several supporters, was sold just four months ago.

American Glass Research (AGR), which is owned by its parent company, AGR International, was acquired by a diversified industrial solutions company called Indicor in March of 2024.

What is interesting is that there are ties in all this to the investment giant BlackRock. Thier name popped up earlier this week when it was also reported that Thomas Matthew Crooks was featured in a BlackRock ad not so long ago.

Just a Coincidence?

TGP reports: Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, in an interview with ABC News on Monday, reported that local police were in the AGR building at the time Crooks climbed on top of the building’s roof.

Cheattle added that no Secret Service agents were stationed on the roof of the AGR building due to the building having a “sloped roof,” and there was a “safety factor” made in the decision not to place agents on the roof.

District Attorney Richard Goldinger of Butler County, Pennsylvania, told NBC News that he doesn’t think any employees were inside the AGR building at the time of the shooting.

Since the tragic shooting at Trump’s rally, neither AGR nor Indicor have not appeared to release any public statements regarding the shooting.

Read the press release from AGR International from March 20, 2024:

Agr was recently acquired by Indicor, a diversified industrial solutions company. As a world-class, innovative supplier of quality assurance and process automation equipment to the global packaging markets, Agr fits nicely into the values and focus of Indicor.

Agr’s operations, headquartered in Butler, PA, USA, will remain unchanged and they will continue to provide the industry-known laboratory, online, and automated process control systems and services that support glass and plastic packaging manufacturers and brand owners worldwide, as they have for nearly one hundred years.

In 2022, Indicor announced its formation and brand name

According to PR News Wire, “The formation of Indicor follows the November 2022 sale of a majority stake in a portfolio of industrial businesses from Roper Technologies, Inc. to funds affiliated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (“CD&R”).”

The current CEO of Indicor is Doug Wright, who was previously deployed with defense contractor Raytheon Technologies.
