An online fundraiser for the bystanders injured or killed during the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday has raised over $4 million in less than 24 hours, reflecting an outpouring of support from around the country.
The GoFundMe page created by the Trump campaign promises to direct all donations to the family of 50-year-old former firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed while heroically shielding his wife and daughter from the gunfire, as well as two other as-of-yet-unidentified victims who were nonfatally wounded in the shooting.
