Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) introduced a new resolution Tuesday that would honor a rally attendee who was killed during an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend.

Former local fire chief Corey Comperatore was fatally shot while protecting his family from bullets after a shooter opened fire at a rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump confirmed he was shot in the right ear in a post to Truth Social, and two other rally attendees, James Copenhaver, 74, and David Dutch, 57, were also injured. Both were in stable condition as of Sunday night.
