Please pray for this man's friends and family. 💔😢🙏
James "Jim" Copenhaver was gravely wounded during the assassination attempt on Pres Trump in Butler, PA, on July 13th, 2024.
He suffered severe internal and nerve damage after being struck by two bullets during the attack—one to his left tricep, the other to his abdomen.
The abdominal bullet became permanently lodged right next to his spine. Because it was too dangerous to remove, he lived with these bullet fragments still inside his body, which resulted in permanent nerve damage and required him to use a cane.
A lawsuit filed by Copenhaver against the United States revealed that his initial recovery required multiple life-saving surgeries. Family acquaintances noted that he had been battling permanent, debilitating injuries stemming from the shooting up until his death.
This poor man. 😢
RIP Jim 🕊🙏
