About this episode
July 13, 2024. Butler, Pennsylvania.
One of the most consequential days in modern American history — the day a 20-year-old man attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump.
A quieter, more devastating story from that afternoon belongs to Corey Comperatore, the former fire chief who was shot and killed while shielding his wife Helen and oldest daughter Allyson from the gunfire.
This episode details Helen’s search for answers: to questions about the shooter, security failures, and the moments that still refuse to make sense.
Epoch Times reporter Janice Hisle was on the ground that day. Here, she shares the lasting impact of what she witnessed and the bond she has formed with Helen Comperatore and the other survivors of the Butler rally.
Welcome to Epoch Reports from The Epoch Times — one of America’s largest independent media outlets.
Join host Benjamin Trenerry for a powerful look at that fateful day and its lingering impact.
