O governador da Pensilvânia, Josh Shapiro, revelou a identidade da pessoa mortalmente ferida pelos disparos de Thomas Crooks, 20 anos, direcionados ao ex-presidente Donald Trump. Trata-se de Corey Comperatore, bombeiro de 50 anos, que morreu tentando proteger sua família, afirmou Shapiro.
“Eu acabei de falar com a esposa e as duas filhas de Corey. Ele era um pai de meninas. Um bombeiro. Corey ia a igreja todos os domingos. Corey amava a sua comunidade. Especialmente, Corey amava a sua família”, afirmou Shapiro.
“Corey era um apoiador entusiasmado do ex-presidente e estava muito animado de estar lá com ele (Trump) e sua comunidade”, acrescentou, afirmando que a esposa de Corey pediu para que todos ficassem cientes de que ele morreu como um herói.
O presidente Joe Biden também enviou suas condolências à família Comperatore. “Ele estava protegendo sua família das balas que estavam sendo disparadas. Ele perdeu sua família. Deus o amava”, disse.
Além de Comperatore, duas outras pessoas foram gravemente feridas: David Dutch, 57 anos, e James Copenhaver, 74, ambos da Pensilvânia.
Dutch teve que passar por cirurgias após ser alvejado no fígado e no peito. De acordo com um relatório da polícia, tanto Dutch quanto Copenhaver se encontram, no momento, em condições estáveis.
