The man who was shot and killed during the assassination attempt on Donald Trump has been identified as former fire chief Corey Comperatore.
The Associated Press reports former fire chief’s wife told Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro that Comperatore “dove on his family to protect them.”
“The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most,” Comperatore’s sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, said on Facebook, according to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
“He was a hero that shielded his daughters. 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.”
An eyewitness told BBC that he warned police about the gunman but was ignored. This video has since gone viral. The director of the U.S. Secret Service is facing questions about the conditions that allowed for this shooting to happen.
