Donald Trump was bundled off stage by Secret Service at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday after being shot in an assassination attempt.
The former president, 78, survived the assassination attempt and was treated for his injuries at a hospital. He later thanked God for preventing the “unthinkable from happening.”
The spectator killed was named on Sunday as former fire chief of Buffalo Township, Corey Comperatore, according to local media reports. Friends and family members, including his sister, posted tributes on social media.
Two other people in the crowd were critically wounded during the shooting and are being treated at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh.
Law enforcement officials said that a Secret Service sniper killed the shooter, who was on a roof outside the security perimeter. The gunman was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
The shooting is being considered an assassination attempt, law enforcement said. The FBI has launched an investigation along with other law enforcement agencies.
