In the small town of Cabot, Pennsylvania, a somber funeral procession was held on Friday to honor Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief who was shot and killed at a rally for former President Donald Trump. Bagpipes played, guns were fired in salute, and taps were sounded as Comperatore’s casket was carried from the church to his final resting place. The community came together to pay their respects, with over 100 emergency vehicles joining the procession.
Comperatore was hailed as a hero for shielding his wife and daughter during the shooting at Trump’s rally. Trump himself paid tribute to Comperatore at the Republican National Convention, displaying his firefighting gear on stage and calling him an “unbelievable person.” The community mourned the loss of a beloved father, husband, and friend.
Mourners gathered in Cabot and Sarver, waving American flags and displaying signs in honor of Comperatore. His family described him as a devoted father and husband, and a friend to many. As the community came together to remember him, they found comfort in the outpouring of support from around the world and the strength of their faith.
Two others were injured in the shooting at Trump’s rally, but were upgraded to serious but stable condition. The community continues to come together to mourn the loss of Corey Comperatore, a true American hero.
