Billy Ray Cyrus attended the memorial service Friday for the firefighter who died at the failed Trump assassination attempt, Fox News reported.
The country singer joined hundreds in rural Pennsylvania to pay tribute to Corey Comperatore, a local hero who lost his life protecting his family during an assassination attempt on former President Trump, according to Fox News. Comperatore, whose distinguished background includes 10 years in the U.S. Army Reserves and a role as chief of the Buffalo Volunteer Fire Department, was remembered for his bravery and dedication to his community.

“He stayed for the whole service and left after the 21-gun salute,” Roger Kennedy, a longtime member of Cabot Church, told Butler Eagle. “No one announced him or made a big deal out of it.”
