    Ol' Bob Ritchie stepping up. There's been an outpouring of support since the shocking attack on former President Donald Trump yesterday at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania that left the Republican nominee for president injured and killed one member of the crowd. Two others at the rally are also in critical condition at a local hospital. We recently learned that the victim who passed away was a 50-year old former fire chief named Corey Comperatore, who spent his final moments shielding his wife and daughter from the bullets of a madman. A GoFundMe has been set up for Comperatore's family, which has already raised over $140,000 in under three hours. And another fundraiser, set up by the Trump campaign to benefit all of the victims of the attack, has raised over $1.2 million in just over 12 hours. The GoFundMe, which was established by Trump's campaign finance director Meredith O'Rourke, has already received large donations from names like former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, political commentator Ben Shapiro and Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner. But the largest donation so far has come from one of Trump's most outspoken supporters, Kid Rock. Kid Rock has donated $50,000 to the fundraiser, after being one of the first to speak out after the attack yesterday in a video posted to his social media: https://twitter.com/KidRock/status/1812488029186953493 Meanwhile, in a heartbreaking post, Allyson Comperatore recalled how her father protected her in his final moments:
    "The media will not tell you that he died a real-life super hero. 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. And I want nothing more than to cry on him and tell him thank you. I want nothing more than to wake up and for this to not be reality for me and my family. We lost a selfless, loving husband, father, brother, uncle, son, and friend. And I will never stop thinking about him and mourning him until the day that I die too. July 13th will forever be a day that changed my life. I will never be the same person I was less than 24 hours ago.
    There are a lot of children out there that say their dad is their hero, but my dad really is mine. I don't think I would be here today without him. Dad, I love you so much that there aren't enough words to express how deep that love goes. I know you'll give heaven some hell. I know that God is proud of the man that came to His gates yesterday." Absolutely heartbreaking. Rest in peace to this real-life hero, and prayers that everybody who was affected is able to find peace in this terrible time.
