JUST IN: I am sad to report that one of the shooting victims at the 2024 Butler Pennsylvania assassination attempt of President Trump has died. James “Jim” Copenhaver of Moon Township, Pennsylvania, has died at 76. Jim was one of the two spectators seriously wounded in the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler. Copenhaver was shot twice, once in the left arm and once in the abdomen, while seated in the bleachers. He underwent multiple surgeries for a transected colon, abdominal injuries, and related complications. Bullet fragments remained in his body, and he lived the rest of his life with permanent injuries. He survived the attack that killed firefighter Corey Comperatore and grazed Trump. In the years that followed he continued treatment, later joined a lawsuit alleging Secret Service failures at the rally, and wrote the foreword to a book about the shooting in which he reflected on how he would be remembered. He is now the second fatality connected to that day. Rest in peace Jim.🙏❤️

This is so sad. Jim probably suffered all these years with bullet fragments still in his body.

This is senseless and sad… even more, we still don’t know who his murderer truly was.
