“The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most. He was a hero that shielded his daughters. His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable,” she continued. “Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds. Pray for my sister-in-law, nieces, my mother, sister, me and his nieces and nephews as this feels like a terrible nightmare but we know it is our painful reality.”

The shooting — now considered an assassination attempt against Trump — left the former president wounded, two spectators injured, and Comperatore killed. The other two rally-goers have not been identified.

Comperatore was a fire chief but recently retired, WPXI reported.

He was a project and tooling engineer at JSP and lived in Sarver, Pennsylvania, according to his social media profiles.

The suspected shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by authorities. He reportedly used an AR-15-type semi-automatic rifle in the attack.

A father, a husband, and a hero. RIP.
