A tragic incident occurred at a Pennsylvania Trump rally, where 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, a former volunteer fire chief, lost his life. He was killed while shielding his daughter from a sniper’s bullet during an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Corey’s sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, announced the news on Facebook: “The PA Trump Rally claimed the life of my brother, Corey Comperatore… Hatred has no limits, and love has no bounds.” His daughter, Allyson, added, “He shielded my body from the bullet that came at us. He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us.”
Corey’s wife, Helen, expressed her anguish: “Yesterday… turned into a nightmare for our family. What my precious girls had to witness is unforgivable. He died the hero he always was.” This heartbreaking event underscores both the senselessness of violence and the profound love of a father. Corey’s bravery and sacrifice will not be forgotten.
