During an interview with Fox News on Monday night at the Republican National Convention, Eric called Comperatore's death "unthinkable," adding, "This is a person who loved Donald Trump, his family. He jumped on his children. It's unthinkable what happened there."
Comperatore, 50, was a firefighter and a father of two daughters, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Sunday. He was from Sarver, Pennsylvania.
Comperatore "died a hero" when he "dove on his family" to protect them from the gunfire during the rally, his wife said, according to Shapiro.
Eric Trump said that the GoFundMe page created for Comperatore's family was close to reaching $5 million.
