Former President Donald Trump will attend the funeral of Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old former fire chief who was fatally shot during an assassination attempt at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Comperatore, who died while shielding his family, was honored with a candlelight vigil attended by hundreds of mourners. During the Republican National Convention, Trump paid tribute to Comperatore by placing his firefighting gear on stage and leading a moment of silence. Trump announced that $6.3 million has been raised for the families of Comperatore and two other individuals, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were injured during the shooting. The funeral will be private, with a public procession through Freeport Community Park and a visitation at Laube Hall on Thursday.
