Corey Comperatore’s Widow Reveals His Last Words

The final words of volunteer firefighter and father of two Corey Comperatore were, as relayed by his grieving widow to The Post, those in which he shielded his family from a sniper who opened fire on former President Donald Trump. "He is my hero," Helen Comperatore stated from her residence on Monday. "He instructed us to "get down! "That was the last utterance he made." "I did not engage in discourse with Biden." "I was disinclined to engage in conversation with him," Helen Comperatore stated. "My husband was a devout Republican, and I would not have been inclined to engage in discourse with him." Corey Comperatore, aged 50, a former chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company, was present at Trump's rally in nearby Butler on Saturday with his family when Thomas Matthew Crooks, a deranged sniper, opened fire, grazing the former president, wounding two others, and killing Comperatore. Helen Comperatore stated that the couple, who had been in a relationship since their youth, was on the verge of celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary when they attended the rally to express their support for their chosen candidate. "My children and I were present as a family unit," she stated. "He was simply enthusiastic." The day was to be spent in the company of the family. "It was a regrettable day," she added. "He was a devoted spouse," she stated. "He was a man of simple means, yet he consistently prioritized the well-being of his wife and children." I did not contribute anything of value to this endeavor. I did not contribute whatsoever. "He was the primary actor in all matters." On Saturday, he perished while safeguarding his family, Helen stated. As shouts of distress echoed through the air, Trump sustained a grazing injury to the ear, Comperatore was fatally wounded, and two other individuals, David Dutch, aged 57, and James Copenhaver, aged 54, sustained critical injuries that are anticipated to result in full recovery. Helen indicated that she has been inundated with expressions of support in the aftermath of the tragedy. A GoFundMe account established by her family has received contributions of $990,000. "The donations being received from individuals and organizations across the community and the country are more substantial than I could have anticipated," she stated. "It is beyond my comprehension, yet he deserves such generosity." "He is deserving of all that he has received." She stated that the family has yet to receive communication from Trump yet remains steadfast in their position that Biden is not welcome. "I harbor no ill will toward Joe Biden," she stated. "I do not engage in the political process." I am a supporter of Trump and intend to vote for him, but I do not harbor any ill will towards Biden. "He did not engage in any wrongdoing towards my husband." "A 20-year-old individual engaged in reprehensible behavior did."
