Trump to Hold Rally in Honor of Shooting Victims in Pennsylvania

Former President Donald Trump has announced plans for a second rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, to honor the victims of a recent assassination attempt during a previous event. In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his intention to return to the site of the attack, stating, “I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY.” The rally is set to pay tribute to Corey Comperatore, a firefighter who lost his life while shielding others from gunfire, as well as the two men who were injured during the incident. The assassination attempt occurred on July 13, when an assailant opened fire at Trump during a rally. Comperatore was killed while bravely protecting his family, and the two other victims, who sustained critical injuries, are reportedly on the road to recovery. Trump emphasized the significance of the upcoming rally, urging supporters to “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!” and promising further details soon. This announcement follows Trump’s recent tribute to Comperatore at the Republican National Convention, where he honored the fallen firefighter’s heroism. Trump recounted how Comperatore acted selflessly, stating, “He lost his life selflessly acting as a human shield to protect them from flying bullets.” The former president’s remarks included a poignant moment where he kissed the helmet of the late fire chief, underscoring the impact of the tragedy on the community.
