Original Note:
“They” is a pronoun commonly used by gender fluid communities and others in the LGBT scope; therefore, this pronoun is acceptable to use to refer to Thomas Crooks because we do not know how they identify, or if the number of shooters requires a plural pronoun. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/grammar/pronouns/gendered_pronouns_and_singular_they.html
