James Copenhaver, one of three attendees shot during the 2024 assassination attempt at Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has died, ABC News reports. The supplied account does not provide his age, the date or cause of death, or further information about the other people injured.

James Copenhaver, who was shot during Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has died, ABC News US reports. Copenhaver was one of three rally attendees shot during what the report describes as an assassination attempt on Trump, who was then a candidate. The supplied material identifies him as one of those wounded but provides no further account of his injuries or subsequent treatment.

It does not state when Copenhaver died, give his age or identify the cause of death beyond linking him to the earlier shooting. The available report also does not provide updated information about the other people shot at the rally. No statement from Copenhaver’s family, Trump’s campaign or law-enforcement authorities is included in the source material.

The account therefore establishes his death and his connection to the 2024 Butler rally, but offers no further details about the circumstances.
