A man who was shot during an assassination attempt at a 2024 campaign rally for President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, dies, according to reports. He was among the bystanders hit by the gunman.
ABC Australia reports that the 76-year-old was shot in the arm and abdomen. It says the injuries leave him with lingering effects, including difficulty walking that required him to use a cane. The Washington Times also reports that the bystander’s injuries proved fatal, noting he dies on Thursday.
Both outlets describe the shooting as part of the broader attempt on Trump at the rally and identify the man as one of the bystanders wounded in the attack. They focus on his subsequent condition and death, rather than on motive or the investigation’s details.
