The member of the crowd killed in the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at his Pennsylvania rally has been identified.
Corey Comperatore, the retired fire chief of Buffalo Township, was sitting behind the former president shot and killed by gunman 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
The 50-year-old died a hero as his family revealed he was shielding his young daughter and wife from the gunfire when he was killed.
Members of the audience frantically tried to save the father's life in the bleachers in Butler after Crooks opened fire from a rooftop 130 yards away.
Family members paid tribute Comperatore who was well-known in the community.
His sister wrote on Facebook: 'The PA Trump Rally claimed the life of my brother, Corey Comperatore. The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most. He was a hero who shielded his daughters.'
The identified shooter, Crooks, was a registered Republican who had donated to President Biden in the past. A motive for why he attempted to take the life of former President Trump is still being investigated by law enforcement.

RIP, Corey. Prayers for the family.
Prayers up for Corey and his loved ones.
The “press” this morning was trying to blame the Trump campaign themes for last night’s shootings. Not much about the Biden/media campaign themes of Trump as Hitler, Trump threatening democracy, Trump going to destroy women’s rights, Trump going to start a war, Trump being a convicted felon, bad people being Trump’s base, etc. Instead, Stephanopoulous, who attended a celebratory dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s when the convicted child rapist was released from prison and Martha Raddatz, who bawled onscreen Election Night 2016 bc Sen. Kaine’s son was in the Marines and might not like the result, trashed Trump for his “rhetoric”. Not a word about the murdered Trump supporter whose loss is great for his family and his community.
The FBI will claim this guy was a budding terrorist, just like all MAGA voters.
What a loss for his family, his community and his country. RIP.
Father please accept this noble man into your care and give his family comfort that they can get through this. My heart breaks for them.
In eighteen hours, GoFundMe has raised $ 1.4 million for this wonderful man’s family.
demonrat party is all about killing.
RIP Corey. You are a hero forever.
I am sure that man would have rather given his life, voluntarily, saving a family in a fire than die in such a meaningless way.
A tragedy!
The drums in Heaven beat loudly today for a HERO has arrived at the gates!!!
Damn.
We know how terrible President Trump has to feel about this, and how compassionate he will be to the family and to the others injured by this heinous act.
Makes me furious for this family. May God bless them as they mourn.
“Hero”
