Share this @internewscast.com

The widow of Corey Comperatore, a victim of a shooting at a Trump rally, shared that the president reached out to her after viewing her interview on Fox News, promising his ongoing support.

Helen Comperatore also mentioned to Fox News Correspondent Alexis McAdams that Sean Curran, the Secret Service Director, called her, expressing his sorrow after hearing her speak in anticipation of the shooting’s one-year anniversary in Butler, Pennsylvania. According to Comperatore, Curran plans to meet with her to discuss the case further.

“We were caught in a deadly situation that day. Their hands are stained with our blood. I am furious. I lost the person I loved most. They made a grave error,” Helen Comperatore stated in the interview, demanding that the Secret Service take responsibility.

The Secret Service has admitted to multiple failures after 20-year-old gunman Thomas Crooks climbed onto a rooftop and fired off eight rounds. Those shots killed Comperatore – a volunteer firefighter — and wounded three others, including then-former President Donald Trump.

The widow also told Fox News that after a year without answers, she finally feels the Secret Service is listening to her. 

In her call with Trump, the president said the families affected that day will forever be connected because of the tragedy, according to Comperatore. 

Trump said there will be a comprehensive report made about the assassination attempt, though it is unclear when that will be made public.

Six Secret Service agents were suspended without pay or benefits on Wednesday in the wake of the shooting, the agency confirmed.
