Jim Copenhaver, 76, has died from complications resulting from injuries sustained during the July 2024 shooting at Donald Trump's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Jim Copenhaver, a 76-year-old man who was critically injured during a shooting at Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has died from complications related to his injuries. The Pennsylvania attorney general confirmed Copenhaver's death, which comes months after the July attack.

During the incident, a gunman fired multiple shots from a nearby rooftop toward the rally stage. Copenhaver was struck twice during the gunfire. The attack also resulted in the death of another attendee, Corey Comperatore, while the former president sustained a minor wound to his ear. Copenhaver had previously spent weeks receiving intensive hospital care following the shooting before succumbing to long-term health complications.
