Widow of man slain in Trump assassination attempt: 'We were all sitting ducks that day'

The widow of a Pennsylvania firefighter who was killed during the assassination attempt against President Trump at a campaign rally last year said in a new Fox News interview that she wants accountability from the Secret Service for the death of her husband, Corey Comperatore.

"We were all sitting ducks that day. Our blood is all over their hands," Helen Comperatore told Fox News's Alexis McAdams this week. "I am angry. I lost the love of my life."

"They screwed up," she added.

Saturday will be the first anniversary of the deadly Butler, Pa., campaign rally, where gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 21, opened fire on then-GOP presidential candidate Trump and the crowd. Corey Comperatore, 50, was fatally shot by the would-be assassin, while Trump and two others were injured. Crooks was shot and killed as he continued to fire at the crowd from the rooftop of a nearby warehouse.

"Why Butler? Why was that such a failure? Why weren't they paying attention?" Helen Comperatore said in the interview. "Why did they think that that roof didn't need covered?"

"I want to sit down and talk to them. I have the right to. They need to listen to me," she added.

Six Secret Service agents were suspended without pay Wednesday in relation to the shooting.

Helen Comperatore said she also has questions for Crooks's family.

"Why would you not go in there and look in his room and say … you know what son, you need help," she said.
