One of Comperatore´s daughters, Allyson, mentioned her dad in a Facebook post as “the best dad a girl could ever ask for,” the one who is always anticipatory to aid and fast to “make friends with anyone.”
“The media will not tell you that he died a real-life superhero,” she claimed.
“He threw my mom and I to the ground… (and) shielded my body from the bullet that came at us.”
Shapiro also expressed Comperatore as “a hero” who killed in safeguarding his family. He claimed, “State flags would be flown at half-staff to honor the victim.”
“Corey was an avid supporter of the former president,” Shapiro counted, “and was so excited to be there last night.”
A GoFundMe page initiated to present money for the Comperatore family had welcomed a charity of nearly $330,000 as of 3:00 pm (19H00 GMT).
