On Sunday, authorities identified the person killed as Corey Comperatore, a firefighter from Sarver, Pennsylvania, who had two daughters and was an avid Trump supporter.

Two men injured in the shooting – a 57-year-old New Kensington, Pennsylvania, resident and a 74-year-old resident of Moon Township – were still in critical condition at Allegheny General Hospital on Monday morning, according to Bill Toland, director of public relations for the Allegheny Health Network.

Toland noted the hospital system uses a different rating system for patients' conditions than the Pennsylvania State Police, which has said the two men were in "stable" condition. Their hospital-listed condition status has not changed since their arrival, Toland said. Toland said the patients were transported to the hospital by the system's LifeFlight helicopters directly from the rally.

Trump is recovering after he was injured in the right ear when a gunman, identified by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire with an AR-15-style rifle on a rooftop about 400 feet outside the rally. Crooks, the suspected shooter, was killed by law enforcement officials moments after shots were fired.
