The former fire chief who was killed at a Pennsylvania rally for Donald Trump spent his final moments diving in front of his family to protect them from gunfire that rang out Saturday during an assassination attempt against the former president.

Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro said on Sunday that Corey Comperatore, 50, had died a “hero”, using his body as a shield to protect his wife and daughter from the bullets.
