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.
The shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday injured the former president and left one rallygoer dead and two others seriously wounded. Authorities said the man killed in the assassination attempt on Trump was 50-year-old Corey Comperatore of Sarver, Pennsylvania. At a news conference Sunday, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Comperatore dived on his family to protect them and had “died a hero.
And most especially, Corey loved his family,” Shapiro said. President Joe Biden also praised Comperatore on Sunday. “He was a father. He was protecting his family from the bullets that were being fired,” Biden said at a White House news conference. “And he lost his life. God love him.” Two other rallygoers from Pennsylvania were reported to have been critically injured in the shooting: David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington and James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township.
