The former president will return to the town where he was shot two weeks ago and honor the victims.

Former President Donald Trump is planning a return to the western Pennsylvania town where he survived an assassination attempt.

In a July 26 post on his Truth Social platform, the 45th president said he will come back to Butler County for a rally to honor Corey Comperatoreโ€”a firefighter who was killed at the July 13 campaign rally as he reportedly dove in front of his wife and daughter to protect themโ€”as well as two rallygoers who were critically injured.

โ€œI will be going back to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a big and beautiful rally, honoring the soul of our beloved firefighting hero, Corey, and those brave patriots injured two weeks ago,โ€ wrote the nationโ€™s top Republican.

โ€œWhat a day it will beโ€”fight, fight, fight! Stay tuned for details,โ€ he added.

The announcement comes a week after former President Trump accepted his third nomination for presidentโ€”a rarity in American historyโ€”at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on July 19. On the same day, Mr. Comperatore was memorialized at a funeral service near his hometown.

Former President Trump did not attend the funeral but paid tribute to Mr. Comperatore during a speech at the Milwaukee convention on July 18.

Displaying Mr. Comperatoreโ€™s fire helmet and jacket, former President Trump called Mr. Comperatore โ€œa fine manโ€ and said, โ€œThere is no greater love than to lay down oneโ€™s life for others.โ€

Mr. Comperatore, who celebrated his 50th birthday not too long ago, was a 10-year veteran of the U.S. Army Reserves. He served in the early 2000s as the chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company in Sarver, Pennsylvania, and remained a member until his death.

At the July 13 Trump rally in Butler, about 13 miles from his home, Mr. Comperatore used his body as a shield for his wife and daughter against the bullets fired at former President Trump in an assassination attempt from the top of a nearby building, according to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro citing Mr. Comperatoreโ€™s wife. The would-be assassin was killed by a Secret Service sniper almost immediately after.
