Christian Father Killed in Attempted Trump Assassination Lived and ‘Died a Hero’

A 20-year-old would-be assassin fired roughly 6-8 shots Saturday at President Donald Trump shortly after the Republican began addressing a massive crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania. Although the shooter, whom the FBI have identified as ActBlue donorThomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, was ultimately unsuccessful in his monstrous mission to kill the man Democrats have characterized as a “clear and present danger,” he still managed to visit tragedy upon at least one family of patriots.

“We lost a fellow Pennsylvanian last night,” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) told the press Sunday. “Corey Comperatore.”

“Corey was an avid supporter of the former president,” said Shapiro, “and was so excited to be there last night with him and the community.” . . .

The governor learned upon speaking with Comperatore’s wife and two daughters, “Corey was a girl dad. Corey was a firefighter. Corey went to church every Sunday. Corey loved his community. And most especially, Corey loved his family.” . . .

Allyson Comperatore, one of the victim’s daughters, said her father died “a real-life superhero,” throwing her and her mother to the ground when gunshots first rang out, reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
