Not Surprising

An innocent bystander, protecting his family from an assassin, turns out to have been someone who served as a First Responder for years:

• A former Pennsylvania fire chief, Corey Comperatore, was reportedly shot and killed when a gunman attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

  “Comperatore is being remembered on social media by family members, friends and colleagues of the firefighting community. He had retired from the fire department, but remained well-known in the community,” WPXI Pittsburgh reported.

  Comperatore’s sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, wrote in a post shared to Facebook that her brother died as he shielded his daughter as the shooter fired on Trump.

  “The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most. He was a hero that shielded his daughters,” she wrote, the New York Post confirmed. “His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable,” she said.

There's at least one fundraising site that has over $2 million pledged to the family, but we aren't sure what's legit and what isn't. Do your due-diligence over the next few days if you're so inclined to contribute so you and the family aren't scammed.
