The funeral is over. The crowds have left. Now the hard work of grieving is beginning for the family of a former fire chief who was shot and killed during the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Corey Comperatore’s sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, is mad at the scammers trying to collect money on their behalf fraudulently.
Mostly, though, she is shattered. She is still trying to understand how it all happened. She said the family got through the funeral with the love and support of thousands of people. "They kept us standing,” she said.
But, she added, it doesn't stop after that. “The aftermath is just that. You sit with the loss,” she explained.
