Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro held a news conference to address the ongoing investigation into the shooting at former President Trump's rally. He identified the victim of the shooting as Corey Comperatore, whose family said he 'died a hero' after diving on them to protect them from gunfire.
A man killed at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania Saturday has been identified as 50-year-old former firefighter Corey Comperatore, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro announced Sunday. Comperatore was an avid supporter of Trump and excited to be at Trump's rally Saturday, Shapiro said. He was there with his wife and two daughters and dove over them to protect them when gunshots were heard in the crowd. 'Corey died a hero,' Shapiro said.
Shapiro described Comperatore as a 'girl dad' who went to church every Sunday and loved his family and community. 'Corey was the very best of us, may his memory be a blessing,' Shapiro said. Two other Pennsylvania residents were also shot at the rally and are both in critical condition, Shapiro said. 'Last night was shocking for this community and for this commonwealth, and I know, for this country,' Shapiro said.
