Allyson Comperatore said her father was “a real-life superhero” who threw his wife and her to the ground when shots broke out and “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 said.
From The Post Gazette:
“The PA Trump Rally claimed the life of my brother, Corey Comperatore,” posted Dawn Comperatore Schafer on Facebook. “The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most.
“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. 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.”
[…] His wife wrote that the rally was meant to be an uplifting event.
“Yesterday, what turned out to be such an exciting day for my husband especially, turned into a nightmare for our family,” Ms. Comperatore wrote in a Facebook post. “What my precious girls had to witness is unforgivable. What I had to was.”
“He died the hero he always was.”
Steven Warheit, who referred to Mr. Comperatore as a brother on Facebook, posted that he is “without words.” He said the two would skip school together as kids to hunt and fish. He called their memories “endless.”
“Corey Comperatore was a great man that loved his family fiercely and did the same with god,” he wrote. “A true heart of gold.”
Rest in Peace, Corey Comperatore.
