CABOT, Pa. (AP) — The keen of bagpipes, a three-volley gun salute and a bugle sounding taps pierced the air of a small Pennsylvania town as hundreds gathered to honor an ex-fire chief who was shot and killed at a rally for former President Donald Trump. Corey Comperatore’s funeral was held in Cabot on Friday. Afterward, three firefighters stood sentry on the back of a fire truck bearing Comperatore’s casket, trailed by a parade of more than 100 other emergency vehicles. Officials have said that Comperatore spent his final moments shielding his wife and daughter from gunfire at Trump’s rally last Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump didn’t attend the funeral because of Secret Service concerns.
