“He’s my hero,” his widow, Helen Comperatore told The Post. “He just said, ‘Get down!’ That was the last thing he said.”
Comperatore’s daughter also said her father died a 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,” she wrote. “He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us.”
Former President Donald Trump honored Comperatore during his speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday evening, as the firefighter’s uniform was rolled out onto the stage. Trump went over and kissed the helmet in a moving moment.

Truly a moment. Powerful.

“He was a highly respected former fire chief, respected by everybody,” Trump said. “He was accompanied by his wife, Helen. An incredible woman I spoke to today. Devastated. And two precious daughters. He lost his life selfishly acting as a human shield to protect them from flying bullets. He went right over the top of them and was hit. What a fine man he was.”
Previously reports indicated that Trump planned to attend the funeral of Comperatore, but according to NBC Philadelphia, “Trump is not going to the funeral because of Secret Service concerns, according to a source familiar who was not authorized to speak publicly.”
