Former Buffalo Township Fire Chief, Corey Comperatore, 50 of Sarver, PA, has been identified on social media by his family as the man killed by a bullet aimed at former president Donald Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks.
His community has been mourning its sudden loss on Facebook:
Corey is survived by his wife, daughter, mom, and sisters.
His sister Dawn wrote the following in a Facebook post:
"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 that shielded his daughters. His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable. My baby brother just turned 50 and had so much life left to experience. 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."
A GoFundMe launched to help his family has raised $941,704 of a $7,000 goal from over 17,000 donations as of 11:30 a.m. on July 15. Click here to donate.
