 Heartbreaking. Don't even understand it, how it could happen. Comparatore was married to his high school sweetheart, Helen. The couple had two daughters. After the shots rang out, rally attendee Jim Sweetland, an emergency room doctor, tried to save Comparatore. I looked up to see his family, who witnessed my efforts at resuscitation. The look on their faces said it all. Comparatore's firefighter brothers are paying tribute with flags flying at half-staff.
