Trump kisses fire suit of fallen rally goer Corey Comperatore on RNC stage

Corey Comperatore, the firefighter who was killed in the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, had his fire suit appear during Trump's nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee Thursday night.

Trump noted the death of Comperatore during the speech, saying that he called the Comperatore family and kissing a firefighter's helmet. The last name on the jacket displayed on stage was misspelled as, "Compertore," as it was in Comperatore's firehouse photos shared after his death.

Trump also held up what he told the audience was a million-dollar check for the families of Comperatore and the families of the two people critically injured in the shooting.

The official GoFundMe campaign for the victims of the shooting raised over $5.3 million dollars as of Thursday night.

Trump accepted the Republican party's nomination after telling the crowd his perspective on how the assassination attempt occurred.

Who was Corey Comparatore?

Comperatore, a firefighter from Sarver, Pennsylvania, who served in the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Department had two daughters and was an avid Trump supporter.

"Yesterday time stopped," Allyson Comperatore, his daughter, said on Facebook. "And when it started again my family and I started living a real-life nightmare.

"Corey was a girl dad. Corey was a firefighter," Shapiro told reporters Sunday. "Corey went to church every Sunday. Corey loved his community and, most especially, Corey loved his family."
