Authorities have identified the gunman in yesterday’s attack as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene after the shooting.
The FBI is investigating the attack as an assassination attempt.
They are yet to identify a motive behind the assassination attempt.
The Governor says Comperatore was married and had two daughters.
One person was killed and two critically injured in the incident.
The former president was grazed by a bullet to the ear, leaving his face covered in blood.
