Corey Comperatore

American firefighter who was killed during the attempted assassination of Donald Trump

On July 13, 2024, Donald Trump, then a former president of the United States and the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party in the 2024 presidential election, survived an assassination attempt while speaking at an open-air campaign rally at the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Meridian, Pennsylvania, just outside Butler. Trump was shot and wounded in his upper right ear by 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, who fired eight rounds from an AR-15–style rifle from a nearby building's roof.
