It’s a sad story.
He seems like he was a good guy.
We shouldn’t forget this guy.
It disgusts me that that rat kike Josh Shapiro is using his name.
NPR:
The man killed Saturday during the assassination attempt on former President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa., died a hero, according to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro during a press conference Sunday. Corey Comperatore, 50, “dove on his family to protect them last night at this rally,” Shapiro said.
Shots broke out only a few minutes into the Trump rally. One of those bullets struck the former president’s right ear. His team has reported he is safe. Two others in attendance, 57-year-old David Dutch and 74-year-old James Copenhaver, were also shot but are now in stable condition, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
(At time of writing, it looks like they’ll live.)
Comperatore’s sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, shared in a Facebook post how her brother protected his family at the rally.

“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,” Schafer wrote. The post has since been deleted.
Comperatore, who lived in Sarver, Pa., was the father of two daughters: Allyson and Kaylee, both of whom are in their 20s. According to his LinkedIn profile, he was an engineer at a plastic manufacturing company in Butler. He was also a volunteer firefighter in Buffalo Township, just northeast of Pittsburgh.
Dealing with two non-fat daughters in their twenties… it’s safe to say this guy is in a better place (even if he went to hell for some reason).
Rich Hill, the township manager, said he is “deeply saddened” by Comperatore’s death.
“Corey was a dedicated husband, father, friend, and volunteer to the community, and will be sorely missed. Political violence is always unacceptable and should be condemned,” Hill said in an email to NPR.
…
At least two GoFundMe accounts have been started in the aftermath of the shooting. One, focusing its support on Comperatore’s daughter Allyson, has raised more than $529,000, as of Sunday evening. The other, which says the money it raises will go more generally to the victims of the shooting, has so far raised more than $2.8 million.
Yeah, I normally think these “oh someone died give me money” GoFundMes are kinda scammy.
But I’m not mad about this.
Especially when it’s a youngish father – that family is losing a lot of potential future income.
RIP.
