(The Center Square) – Pennsylvania first responders kicked off the indoor parade in Washington, D.C., for President Donald Trump’s inauguration celebration on Monday.
Members of local and state law enforcement and paramedics processed through the Capital One Arena, all of whom responded on July 13 when a would-be assassin opened fire at a Trump rally, killing one man and wounding another.
Corey Comperatore, 50, was a volunteer fire chief from Buffalo Twp., Pa. who died after shielding his family from the bullets. Trump was hurried off the stage mid-speech, his grazed ear bleeding down the side of his face. An iconic photo of him coming to his feet, blood streaming, and his fist raised saying, “Fight!” has inspired his supporters.
