Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania: The former fire chief who was killed at a Pennsylvania rally for Donald Trump spent his final moments diving in front of his family to protect them from gunfire that rang out Saturday during an assassination attempt against the former president.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro confirmed on Sunday that Corey Comperatore, 50, had died a "hero," using his body as a shield to protect both his wife and daughter from the bullets.
"His wife shared with me that he dove on his family to protect them,” Shapiro said.
Two other people were injured during the apparent attempt to kill Trump at Saturday's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
While law enforcement officials have not released details of the other victims, Texas U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson said in a statement Sunday that his nephew was injured but "thankfully his injury was not serious.”
