Hero Corey Comperatore’s widow reveals his final words as he shielded his family at Trump rally

“Get down!”

Those were the final words of volunteer firefighter and father-of-two Corey Comperatore as he shielded his family from a sniper who opened fire on former President Donald Trump, his grieving widow told The Post.

“He’s my hero,” Helen Comperatore said from her Sarver, Pennsylvania home on Monday. “He just said, ‘get down!’ That was the last thing he said.”
