Man wounded in 2024 Trump assassination attempt dies in Pittsburgh
James Copenhaver, 76, had lived with lingering injuries since being shot during the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a gunman also grazed Donald Trump's ear.
James Copenhaver, one of three rally attendees shot during the 2024 assassination attempt on then-candidate Donald Trump, has died in Pittsburgh, according to his lawyer. He was 76.
Copenhaver was in the bleachers during the campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a 20-year-old gunman opened fire from a nearby rooftop, an attack that also grazed Trump's right ear with one bullet.
Lasting injuries
Copenhaver was struck in the arm and abdomen during the shooting, wounds that left him with lingering injuries and required him to walk with a cane in the time since the attack.
His death marks a somber postscript to the July 2024 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, an attack that remains one of the most significant security incidents involving a US presidential candidate in recent years.
Details on the specific cause of death and any connection to his injuries from the 2024 shooting were not confirmed in the available reporting.
