During the RNC in Milwaukee, Trump pays respect to firefighter killed at his rally

During his highly anticipated speech at the Republican National Convention, former President Donald Trump paid respect to the man who was fatally shot at his rally Saturday.

Corey Comperatore, 50, was the former fire chief of Buffalo Township. His helmet and uniform with the word “Buffalo” affixed to it were placed on stage as Trump arrived to give his speech. The former president kissed Comperatore’s helmet prior to calling for a moment of silence.

The jacket had a spelling error however, but his family acknowledges they knew about the spelling error. His last name is instead spelled Compertore on the jacket.

Comperatore's family told ABC News that they gave the jacket to Trump's people for tonight. It matches the jacket that was shown outside the Pennsylvania firehouse following his death.

Comperatore worked as a project and tooling engineer, was an Army reservist and spent many years as a volunteer firefighter after serving as chief, according to his obituary.

According to the U.S. Secret Service, he was shot and killed at a Trump rally last week after 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on Trump and the crowd, injuring the former president and two others.
