James Copenhaver, one of three people shot during the July 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has died at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, aged 76. Copenhaver was struck in the arm and abdomen when a 20-year-old gunman opened fire from a nearby rooftop — grazing Trump's ear and killing fellow attendee Corey Comperatore — and had since undergone multiple surgeries, including a colon transection, while suffering lasting kidney damage and loss of feeling in one leg. His death comes months after he and his wife filed a lawsuit against the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security, alleging the agencies had "utterly failed" to provide adequate security at the event; his family has not confirmed whether his death was directly caused by his wounds.
