Former President Donald Trump paid tribute to Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old firefighter killed while shielding his family during an assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. During his speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Trump honored Comperatore's bravery by displaying and kissing his firefighting helmet and jacket on stage. Trump also called for a moment of silence and announced that over $6 million had been raised for the victims' families. The attack left Trump with a wound to his ear, and two other attendees, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, were critically injured but survived. The incident has significantly impacted Trump's campaign, with frequent mentions of the shooting at the RNC.
