Funeral details have been announced for hero firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed during the assassination attempt against President Trump last weekend.
A public procession is scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday from Freeport Community Park in Freeport, Pennsylvania to Laube Hall in Freeport.
Visitation will be from 2 to 4 p.m., and from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Laube Hall.
A private burial will follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cabot Methodist Church, 707 Winfield Road in Cabot, Pennsylvania, or Buffalo Township Firehall, 565 Sarver Road in Sarver.
It was initially reported that Trump would attend the funeral, but later sources said he would not be able to attend.
Comperatore was supporting Trump at the Saturday campaign rally when shots rang out from a nearby rooftop in Butler.
The shooter nicked Trump’s right ear, killed Comperatore and severely wounded two others.
That suspect, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed.

Earlier this week, Trump called Comperatore’s wife to convey his condolences.
“He was very kind and said he would continue to call me in the days and weeks ahead,” Helen Comperatore wrote of the former president on Facebook. “I told him the same thing I told everyone else. He left this world a hero and God welcomed him in. He did not die in vain that day.”
Comperatore was the former fire chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company in Sarver, Pa.
A GoFundMe campaign for Comperatore’s wife has raised more than $1.2 million in the days since the firefighter’s death.
