Accepting the Republican nomination for president, Trump, after having recounted his version of events at the shooting that broke out at his rally Saturday, said $6.3 million has been raised for the victims of the shooting.

Donations to a GoFundMe campaign organized by Trump’s team totaled $5.3 million as of tonight.

As Trump announced during his remarks, a friend of his donated $1 million to the cause. He pulled out a paper check onstage.

Comperatore’s helmet and jacket on RNC stage; Trump holds moment of silence

Trump held a moment of silence for slain rally attendee Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief, at the Republican convention as Comperatore’s jacket and helmet were onstage.

“He was a highly respected former fire chief — respected by everybody,” Trump said.

The jacket and the helmet were wheeled on a stand onto the stage as Trump took the stage to give his acceptance speech. He walked over and kissed the helmet during his speech.

Comperatore, 50, former fire chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company, was killed and two other people who attended the rally were shot and wounded in the assassination attempt. Trump was also hurt and has said a bullet pierced part of his right ear.

Trump said he has spoken to two people who were shot and wounded.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Comperatore’s family told him Comperatore, the father of two daughters, dived on them to protect them from the gunfire. “He died a hero,” Shapiro said Sunday.

Trump said tonight, “He lost his life selflessly, acting like a human shield.”

Trump describes shooting: ‘I immediately knew it was very serious’

Trump said a bullet at his rally Saturday “came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life.”

Trump said tonight from the convention stage that he was prepared to turn his head even further when he heard a sound.

“I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really, really, hard on my right ear,” he said. “I said to myself, ‘Wow, what was that? It can only be a bullet.’”

Trump said he put his hand up to his right ear, and his hand was “covered with blood.”

“I immediately knew it was very serious, that we were under attack,” he said. He praised the Secret Service agents who helped him.

Trump said he would not recount what happened again because it’s “too painful to tell.”

He was a local leader and a veteran, a former fire chief, and a committed Christian, who found peace and joy through our church. He loved and cared for us, his family,” the family said in a statement.

“Our family is finding comfort and peace through the heartfelt messages of encouragement from people around the world, through the support of our church and community, and most of all through the strength of God.”
