Resolution honoring firefighter killed at PA Trump rally introduced to House

( WJET/WFXP ) — A resolution has been introduced to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives honoring the man who lost his life at the Trump rally in Butler.

On Monday, July 22, a resolution honoring Corey Comperatore, who was killed during the July 13 Trump rally while shielding his family from gunfire, was introduced to the House.

The resolution aims to mourn Comperatore, a volunteer firefighter, and celebrate his “selfless and courageous life.”

U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA), who introduced the resolution, gave his sympathy to Comperatore’s friends and family.

“Corey Comperatore exemplified what it means to be a man of service and sacrifice to his community, his country, and most of all, his family. This resolution is just one way members of Congress can honor his life and pay tribute to a true hero,” Rep. Kelly said. “Those who know Corey tell me he was a proud husband and father. May we continue to pray for Corey’s family and friends at this time.”

So far, more than 70 House members have co-sponsored the resolution.
