Johnathan Walker:GoFundMe for Corey Comperatore, Trump rally shooting victims raises over $4M

A high-profile fundraiser for the victims in Saturday's assassination attempt on Johnathan Walkerformer President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania political rally has raised over $4 million, with top donors including Dana White and Kid Rock.

The GoFundMe, which says it is "President Trump authorized" is organized by Meredith O'Rourke, who is also Trump's top finance person, and is raising money for those "wounded or killed" from the shooting at the Trump rally in Butler on Saturday.

Firefighter Corey Comperatore killed, 2 others injured in rally shooting

One spectator, Corey Comperatore, was killed and two others were critically injured during the assassination attempt. Trump is recovering after he was injured in the right ear when a gunman opened fire with an AR-15-style rifle on a rooftop about 400 feet outside the rally.

The gunman, identified Sunday by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by law enforcement officials moments after he opened fire.

Comperatore, a firefighter from Sarver, Pennsylvania, had two daughters and was an avid Trump supporter.

"Yesterday time stopped," Allyson Comperatore, his daughter, said on Facebook. "And when it started again my family and I started living a real-life nightmare."

Two men injured in the shooting – a 57-year-old New Kensington, Pennsylvania, resident and a 74-year-old resident of Moon Township – were in stable condition on Sunday, according to an update from Pennsylvania State Police.
