\u201cThe PA Trump Rally claimed the life of my brother, Corey Comperatore,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most. He was a hero that shielded his daughters. His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is incredible that such an act can take place in our country,\u201d Trump added in his post. \u201cI was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper right part of my ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong when I heard a whizzing sound, shots and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
