Summary
James Copenhaver of Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, died Thursday from injuries suffered in the July 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, according to multiple reports and an obituary shared by the House Republican Conference.
Copenhaver, described as being in his mid-70s, was among the people shot when gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed onto a nearby building roof and opened fire at the Butler Farm Show rally.
A person connected to Copenhaver's family referred inquiries to a Pittsburgh law firm, while journalist Ken Silva reported a family source said Copenhaver had lived with permanent injuries, including bullet fragments still lodged in his body.
A lawsuit Copenhaver filed against the United States earlier this year said he underwent multiple surgeries, underscoring the lasting toll of the failed attack that Trump survived.
