The 50-year-old was slain by the sharpshooter who made an attempt to kill Donald Trump. Corey Comperatore, a former volunteer fire chief from Pennsylvania, has been identified as the guy who was shot dead by a sniper during an attempt on US President Donald Trump’s life.
At a PA Trump event, Comperatore, 50, perished in the horrific tragedy while trying to protect his daughter.
The former president and two other individuals were hurt by gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks before he was shot and killed by police.
Dawn Comperatore Schafer, Corey’s sister, revealed the heartbreaking news on Facebook and added, “My brother, Corey Comperatore, lost his life due to the PA Trump Rally.” The post was uploaded on Sunday.”The one man we loved the most was killed by our hatred for another man.”
Corey’s wife and daughter also talked about their memories of that day. Allyson, his daughter, recalled, “He protected my body from the bullet that was aimed at us.” He was devoted to his family. Her mother called her father “a real-life superhero,” saying, “He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us.”
“Yesterday, what turned out to be such an exciting day for my husband especially, turned into a nightmare for our family,” said Helen, his wife, in an expression of her sorrow. It is inexcusable what my darling girls had to see. That’s what I had to do. He passed away the hero he was always.
It will never be easy for those who knew and loved Corey Comperatore to forget his bravery or his devotion to his family.
His awful death is a sobering reminder of the futility of violence and the enduring power of a father’s love.
