Trump rally victim is former fire chief Corey Comperatore, who shielded wife, girls from bullets
Family members identified Corey Comperatore as the rally goer who was killed Saturday in an assassination attempt (https://www.foxnews.com/us/dramatic-images-former-president-trump-survives-apparent-assassination-attempt) on former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Comperatore was a former fire chief for Buffalo Township, local news station WPXI reported. He was shot and killed when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on Trump from a sniper's perch some 130 yards away during the campaign event. Two others were critically injured in the attack, authorities said.
The victim's sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, wrote in a Facebook post that Corey "was a hero that shielded his daughters."
"His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable. My baby brother just turned 50 and had so much life left to experience. Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds. Pray for my sister-in-law, nieces, my mother, sister, me and his nieces and nephews as this feels like a terrible nightmare but we know it is our painful reality," Schafer wrote.
