Curran was among the group of agents who rushed to the stage<\/a> to shield Trump with their bodies during a failed assassination attempt on July 13 in Butler that left two dead and the candidate with an injury to his ear.<\/p>\n

Curran appeared next to Trump in a series of photos showing the former and future president returning to his feet, blood running down his face and raising a fist, prompting cheers from the audience.<\/p>\n

Three bystanders were shot. They were firefighter Corey Comperatore<\/a>, 50, who died from his injuries, David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74, both of whom survived.<\/p>\n
