Corey Comperatore, the man that lost his life at the Trump rally – He was a father and former fire chief

The spectator killed while shielding his daughter during the assassination attempt on Donald Trump has been identified as 50-year-old Corey Comperatore.

Moments after attempting to assassinate the former president at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday evening, the shooter fired a fatal gunshot. Comperatore, a father and a former fire chief for Buffalo Township, was among the thousands who attended the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, as part of Trump’s 2024 reelection campaign.

Two other spectators, 57-year-old David Dutch and 74-year-old James Copenhaver, sustained serious injuries, and the gunman was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene. The FBI is treating the incident as an assassination attempt, the agency confirmed.

Gov. Josh Shapiro, who ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of Comperatore, said that he spoke with Comperatore’s wife and two daughters on Sunday.

“Corey went to church every Sunday,” Shapiro said. “Corey loved his community. Most especially, Corey loved his family.”

Comperatore was an avid supporter of Donald Trump.

“Corey was the very best of us. May his memory be a blessing,” Shapiro added. “Last night was shocking… political disagreements can never, ever be addressed through violence.”

Helen, Comperatore’s wife, shared her husband’s last words, spoken as he shielded his family from bullets that ultimately took his life.

“He’s my hero,” she said. “He just said, ‘Get down!’ That was the last thing he said.”

His sister, Dawn, also spoke of her brother. “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.” She described her brother as a hero who died saving his daughter’s life. “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.”

His daughter, Allyson, wrote, “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,” describing her father as “a real-life superhero.”

A GoFundMe has been set up to support Comperatore’s family, on behalf of his daughter Allyson. The fundraiser has already raised over $1,336,500.

“Saturday night, our friend and family, Allyson, lost her father due to a senseless, tragic act at the Trump Rally in Butler,” a friend wrote.

“Allyson has been an athlete with us since the beginning.

“She’s a huge part of our community. If you’re able to support her and her family during this time, we will have a spot for donations at the gym. Additionally, please take the time to sign the cards at the desk.”
