Family Of Slain Fire Chief Warns Against Scammers

The family of a former fire chief, tragically killed during the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, is now grappling with the aftermath of their loss. Corey Comperatore's sister expressed her frustration over scammers attempting to profit fraudulently from their tragedy.

Despite the outpouring of love and support during the funeral, the family is now facing the difficult task of processing their grief. The sister emphasized the need to find solace amidst the overwhelming noise surrounding the incident.

Corey Comperatore, who lost his life shielding his wife and daughter during the shooting, was remembered as a dedicated volunteer firefighter and a loving family man. His sister highlighted his selfless nature and his commitment to serving his community.

While the family is closely monitoring the ongoing investigations into the events leading to the shooting, they are adamant about not politicizing the tragedy. Their primary concern currently lies with scammers creating fraudulent accounts to solicit donations in the name of the deceased.

The family has urged well-wishers to donate to local fire departments instead of falling victim to these scams. They emphasized that Corey would have wanted any contributions to benefit the community he served so passionately.

Despite the challenges they face, the family has found comfort in the kindness of strangers and the support of their community. They remain focused on honoring Corey's memory and ensuring that his legacy of service and love endures.
