Corey Comperatore, a firefighter from Sarver, Pennsylvania, was killed in an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. During Trump’s nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, Comperatore’s fire suit appeared on stage, with Trump acknowledging his death and offering support to his family. The last name on the jacket was misspelled, but Trump held up a million-dollar check for the families of Comperatore and the two others injured in the shooting. The official GoFundMe campaign for the victims raised over $5.3 million. Comperatore was described as a devoted father, firefighter, churchgoer, and community member. His daughter, Allyson, expressed the deep loss their family was experiencing. Trump accepted the Republican party’s nomination after sharing his perspective on the assassination attempt. Comperatore’s death was a tragic event that left his community mourning the loss of a beloved individual.
