The Saturday shooting that grazed Trump's right ear also killed former fire chief Corey Comperatore, and volunteer with the Lernerville Speedway Safety Crew for over 20 years.

 Corey was a former fire chief of Department #27 in Butler PA, and a fixture at Lernerville Speedway in his hometown in PA, a member of the track's Safety Crew for over 20 years. He also sold 50/50 tickets at the speedway to benefit the BTVFD.   

For nearly three decades, Comperatore worked at a plastics plant in the forested hills of Butler County, rising from maintenance supervisor to project engineer. In his spare time, he’d served in the U.S. Army Reserve and as a volunteer firefighter.

Comperatore rushed to throw his wife and two daughters to the ground, and used his body to shield his wife and two daughters, and died trying to protect them.


It's very rare that I can use the hero tag, but Corey earned it, no doubt more than the news will report during his decades as a firefighter. His name is taking the place of honor on this racecar

  1. This man saw the danger and covered his wife and daughter, sacrificing his life for theirs. "Greater love hath no man than he would lay down his life for another." My mother did this as well on February 2, 1963. Pray for Corer's soul and for his family.
