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.

I hope the first thing he does at the convention is name his VP...and I would be even happier if he announced it today.
But they have to get the SS up to par. And get rid of the damn girls....The one near the President couldn't cover him...too short and not bulky enough. The 3 female airheads by the limo...what can I say.
That one should be assigned to the First Lady.
Contrast this with the reaction to George Floyd, how they went out in the streets and tried to burn the country down. The far left press should give “Trump supporters” more credit because as far as I know there has not been any reprisals since yesterday. They don’t seem to understand how serious this is. They think this is still some propaganda war. Stuff like this is fuel for reprisals.
No stampede. I’m amazed at how calm and peaceful the audience was. 🙏🙏
Joy Reid, Rachel Madcow, ‘Morning’ Mika, women of the View...this is on YOU.
Demonrats???
Every single GOP senator and 99.9% of GOP congressmen are crying in their cereal today because the Deep State sniper missed.
We are ruled by a Uniparty. And until everybody who’s still clueless enough to still be rooting for either of the 2 fake wrestling teams wakes up to that fact, nothing in this country that needs to be fixed will get fixed.
Hard to believe someone chose gofundme, known haters of conservatives and Trump, instead of givesendgo. Let’s hope they don’t cancel the crowdfunder.
Don't say that. It is not true. This kind of thinking is poisonous.
Anyone see this about the shooter?
“The identified shooter, Crooks, was a registered Republican who had donated to President Biden in the past. “
Yeah, right...registered Rep who donates to the ervet. Uh huh.
You’re more than a little unhinged.
Amen, may God bless the family of Corey Comperatore. Their loss is profound and excruciating.
This is so sad. I feel so horrible for this family. He was too young to die that way.
The SService knows crowd control becomes an issue in such an event and they commented how orderly this crowd was so their agents could do what they needed to do and get done.... Usually stampedes happen when there’s gun fire in a large crowd.
Prayers sent from me, too, for this gentleman’s family🙏🏻😢
I’m wide awake. Go back to sleep.
The truth hurts!
Hello,
could it be that there is a collection going on for the Comperatore family on Givesendgo, too? 🇺🇸

This really looks like it, although Mr. Comperatore‘s name is not explicitly mentioned.
there are at least two fundraisers for him
