Wednesday's public event was the first of two organized to memorialize and celebrate Corey Comperatore's life, with the second to happen Thursday.
ByA vigil for Corey Comperatore was held Wednesday. The 50-year-old died during an attempt to kill Trump at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.Hundreds of people who gathered to remember the former fire chief fatally shot at a weekend rally for former President Donald Trump were urged to find "unity" as the area in rural Pennsylvania sought to recover from the assassination attempt.
On the rural road to the auto racing track - lined with cornfields, churches and industrial plants - a sign outside a local credit union read: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Comperatore family." Vigil organizer Kelly McCollough told the crowd Wednesday that the event was not political in nature, adding that there was no room for hate or personal opinions other than an outpouring of support for the Comperatore family.
Jeff Lowers of the Freeport Fire Department trained with Comperatore and said at the vigil that he always had a smile on his face. Comperatore's pastor, Jonathan Fehl of Cabot Methodist Church in Cabot, said the family "has been humbled by the way this community has rallied around them," and by the support they have received from people around the world.
