Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro delivered an update on the investigation into the assassination attempt against former President Trump on Sunday. Shapiro says state police are working together with federal investigators to learn more information about the shooter. The governor also honored Corey Comperatore, a victim who was shot and killed during the attack while shielding his wife and daughters. 'We lost a fellow Pennsylvanian last night, Corey.
The victim's sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, also noted in a Facebook post that Corey 'was a hero that shielded his daughters.' TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SHINES LIGHT ON RALLY SECURITY '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.
The FBI identified the suspected shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, saying he fired on the former president from a rooftop roughly 130 yards away from the stage. Shapiro condemned the attack once again and said he was praying for the full recovery of the two other victims of the shooting who remain in critical condition.
He also said he has yet to speak with Trump, but he wished the former president well and said he is praying for his recovery. Fox News Digital's Scott McDonald contributed to this update.
