A man who was shot and injured during the 2024 assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has died. Multiple outlets report that Jim (James) Copenhaver, one of two attendees wounded in the attack, dies from complications related to his injuries.
The shooting occurred when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at the rally. One rallygoer, Corey Comperatore, was killed, while other attendees were injured. Reporting on the man’s death centers on his identity and the fact that he succumbed to injury-related complications, rather than on additional developments about the attack itself.
Across the sources, there is agreement on the key timeline: the 2024 rally attack in Butler, the injuries to Copenhaver, and his subsequent death. The outlets differ mainly in how they phrase the cause of death—some describe it as complications from injuries—without contesting the overall account.
