‘Man of God’ Corey Comperatore Died Shielding Family from Bullets at Trump Rally

By Movieguide® Staff

Family members identified Corey Comperatore — a father, Christian and community leader — as the victim who was killed during an attempt to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally last Saturday. 

“Comperatore, 50, was a former fire chief for Buffalo Township, a volunteer fire service, local news station WPXI reported. He was shot and killed when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on Trump from a sniper’s perch some 130 yards away during the campaign event,” Fox News reported. 

He died protecting his wife and daughter, as his daughter, Allyson Comperatore, revealed on Facebook. 

“He was the best dad a girl could ask for. My sister and I never needed for anything. You call, he would answer, and he would do whatever it is you needed, and if he didn’t know how he would figure out how,” she said of her dad. 

She emphasized his faith, saying he was a “man of God” and “loved Jesus fiercely,” actively serving their local church. 

“The media will not tell you that he died a real-life super hero,” Allyson wrote, describing the moment shots rang out at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “They are not going to tell you how quickly he threw my mom and I to the ground. They are not going to tell you that he shielded my body from the bullet that came at us.”

“He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us,” she continued. “There are a lot of children out there that say their dad is their hero, but my dad really is mine…I know that God is proud of the man that came to His gates yesterday.”

Comperatore’s sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, wrote, “My baby brother just turned 50 and had so much life left to experience. Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds. Pray for my sister-in-law, nieces, my mother, sister, me and his nieces and nephews as this feels like a terrible nightmare but we know it is our painful reality.”

Movieguide® reported on the assassination attempt on President Trump’s life:

Former President and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is praising God for saving his life after he was shot during an assassination attempt at a campaign event Saturday.

“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” Trump wrote Sunday morning. “We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.”

On Saturday, Trump revealed that he was “shot by a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his ear at a Pennsylvania rally.

“I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” he told the New York Post. “I’m supposed to be dead.”

Two other victims were injured but were reported to be in stable condition as of Sunday. 

A GoFundMe has been set up for Comperatore’s family which has raised over $1 million as of this writing. 

Continue to keep Comperatore’s family, President Trump and all those affected by the shooting on Saturday in your prayers.
