The family of Corey Comperatore, the man who was killed during the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday, have paid tribute to him on social media.
Mr Comperatore, aged 50, was at the Trump rally and died protecting his wife and daughter when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at the former president from a nearby roof.
“He was the best dad a girl could ever ask for,” his daughter, Allyson, wrote on Facebook.
“My sister and I never needed for anything. You call, he would answer, and he would do whatever it is you needed, and if he didn’t know how he would figure out how. He could talk and make friends with anyone, which he was doing all day yesterday and loved every minute of it. He was a man of God, loved Jesus fiercely, and also looked after our church and our members as family.
“The media will not tell you that he died a real-life super hero. They are not going to tell you how quickly he threw my mom and I to the ground. They are not going to tell you that he shielded my body from the bullet that came at us.
“He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us. And I want nothing more than to cry on him and tell him thank you. I want nothing more than to wake up and for this to not be reality for me and my family.
“We lost a selfless, loving, husband, father, brother, uncle, son, and friend. And I will never stop thinking about him and mourning over him until the day that I die too. July 13th will forever be a day the changed my life. I will never be the same person I was less than 24 hours ago.
“There are a lot of children out there that say their dad is their hero, but my dad really is mine. I don’t think I would be here today without him.”
Mr Comperatore’s brother also paid tribute to him, saying that died “a hero.”
“My baby brother just turned 50 and had so much life left to experience. 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.”
A GoFundMe page has now been set up for his family.
