In his RNC speech on Thursday, President Trump paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief who lost his life tragically at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He honored Comperatore’s memory by approaching a firefighter’s uniform set up in his honor and requested a moment of silence from the crowd.
A Tribute to Fallen Hero
During his Thursday night address at the Republican National Convention (RNC), President Trump recognized Corey Comperatore, the ex-fire chief who sadly met an untimely death during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. In honor of Comperatore, Trump approached a firefighter’s uniform that was displayed as a tribute and placed his arms on its shoulders. He then invited the audience to join him in observing a moment of silence.
The Tragic Event
Former Fire Chief Corey Comperatore was attending Trump’s rally with his family in nearby Butler when Thomas Matthew Crooks, an unhinged sniper, opened fire. The incident resulted in injuries to two people and grazed the former president. Unfortunately, it also claimed Comperatore’s life.
