Donald Trump sent a note of condolence hailing Corey Comperatore as a hero. Fire trucks and police vehicles filled the parking lot outside the building.
An electronic billboard displays images near a visitation for Corey Comperatore at Laube Hall, Thursday, July 18,2024, in Freeport, Pa. Comperatore was killed at rally for former President Donald Trump Saturday.
Guests walked past a large framed photo of Comperatore holding a fish, while a slideshow of photos from his life was projected on a screen — his wedding, a recent 50th birthday party, time with his daughters, firefighting, fishing on a lake and palling around with his beloved Dobermans. Tables inside the hall were lined with flowers — some sent by fire departments in New York and West Virginia, an auto racing circuit and the mayor of a nearby community. Others came from people in faraway places such as Connecticut and Florida who knew of Comperatore only because of his death.
A box truck parked on a route to the banquet hall displayed video screens showing slides, including a photograph of Trump raising his fist after Saturday’s shooting. It had the slogan “never surrender” and a message expressing prayers for Trump and Comperatore. “Corey loved his family and was always spending time with them,” Ritter said. “This past Saturday was supposed to be one of those days for him. He did what a good father would do. He protected those he loved. He’s a true hero for us all.”
