Man wounded during 2024 Trump rally shooting in Butler County, Pennsylvania dies
House Republicans said Copenhaver died after years of complications from gunshot wounds suffered in the 2024 rally shooting.
- On Thursday, House Republicans confirmed that Jim Copenhaver, a 74-year-old survivor of the 2024 assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, has died.
- Copenhaver sustained life-altering injuries on July 13, 2024, when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at the Butler Farm Show grounds, wounding Copenhaver and David Dutch while killing Corey Comperatore.
- After the shooting, Copenhaver endured recurring stomach pain, weight loss of approximately 30 pounds, and needed a cane to walk. In June 2026, he and Dutch sued the United States, alleging Secret Service security failures.
- Congressional investigations identified significant breakdowns in security planning and communication surrounding the rally. Copenhaver had recorded video shortly before the attack that appeared to show Crooks moving across the roof from which he later fired.
- The 2024 assassination attempt became a defining moment of the presidential campaign, connecting families of the victims through tragedy. Legal efforts to obtain accountability for alleged security failures continue as the nation remembers the Butler shooting.
