HE SURVIVED BUTLER. THE BULLET NEVER LEFT.
Jim Copenhaver was shot at the Trump rally in Butler on July 13, 2024. He lived with bullet fragments still inside him. Now he is gone.
A Patriot showed up to hear the President of the United States and never got his life back. That is the real cost of political violence. Not a think-piece. Not a hashtag. A man who paid with years of pain and then his life.
Rest in peace, Jim
America will not forget you, and we will not forget who cheered when they tried to kill our President.
I’ve got very sad news: Jim Copenhaver, who was shot at the Butler Trump rally on July 13, 2024, has died.
I don’t have many details at this point, but it’s no secret that Jim was dealing with permanent injuries from Butler—including having bullet fragments still inside of him.
RIP Jim
