Koppenhaver, the man injured in the Trump rally shooting, died. He was shot in the arm and abdomen

U.S. President Trump was assassinated by gunman Thomas Crooks while campaigning for the presidential election in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. The bullet grazed his ear. Crooks was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper after firing. Trump said on the 24th that Jim Copenhaver, a 76-year-old man injured during the rally, had passed away.

According to the "AFP" report, Cooks opened fire, killing one person and injuring several others. Koppenhaver was shot in the arm and abdomen. Trump pointed out on "Truth Social" that Koppenhaver had died and emphasized that he was a true patriot and losing him was a huge loss.

Trump pointed out that Koppenhaver was injured while protecting his family, but he still showed great courage and maintained a positive and optimistic spirit in the face of unimaginable difficulties.

American media published a statement from a lawyer for Copenhaver's family, but the statement did not list the cause of death. Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday claimed on X that Copenhaver died of complications from a gunshot wound.

In addition, a report released by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on the 2nd revealed that a series of mistakes by the Secret Service allowed the assassination attempt to occur. Rand Paul, chairman of the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, pointed out in a statement that this incident was not a mistake in judgment, but a complete breakdown of security protection at all levels, due to the indifference of the bureaucratic system and the lack of a clear response mechanism.

Current Secret Service Director Sean Curran claimed that the agency had received the report and would continue to cooperate with the committee's investigation. Curran added that substantial reform measures have been implemented to address the mistakes that occurred on July 13, 2024.
