He killed a father who was a firefighter in the audience. He did kill somone

[theperezfamily]

Calling someone who killed an innocent person (who was a firefighter and went to church every weekend and sacrificed his life to save his family) a hero? Sometimes I think america is not what I think it is

[MakeupMobster]

Dude he did kill someone. This guy is a complete and utter fool.

[weztciide]

Not even knowing the facts and makes a poster, what a clown.

[Vaahteranlehti]

How can someone like that roam free in the society?

[amishdeniro]

Wtf do you mean, "he didn't kill anybody."? I can't believe you people air this vitriol.

Shameless.

[HelenThomasRobson]

“He didn’t kill anybody so let’s make that clear”
so the people from the audience… the father he shot and killed and the two men he put in the hospital are nobodies to you!!!! Tell their families that. Heartless man. Channel 11 why are you giving this “story” life. What are you a gossip column? Lowers your credibility if this is crap you choose to report.

What a pathological liar~a lifelong first responder Corey Comperatore was slain by Crooks~a fire chief who had dedicated his entire life to saving others, then lost it protecting his own fam from this man's so called 'hero.' The garbage he is spewing is an insult to the fallen fire chief~a real hero whose two beautiful daughters are now fatherless, his wife widowed two other victims critically injured due to Crook's killing spree.. and all this man can do is shamelessly glorify a killer~he has no moral compass! God is love +
