David Dutch, a Marine veteran who survived an assassination attempt against former President Trump, has spoken out for the first time since the incident. Dutch, who was shot twice during the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, expressed his gratitude for the support he has received from friends, fellow Americans, and people around the world. He thanked the police officers, medics, life flight crew, and medical professionals who saved his life, as well as those who continue to care for him as he recovers.
In addition to expressing his appreciation, Dutch also offered his thoughts and prayers for the family of Corey Comperatore, who tragically died while shielding his wife and daughters from the gunfire. He also mentioned James Copenhaver, who survived two gunshot wounds at the rally. Dutch commended President Trump for his bravery during the incident and his commitment to making America great again.
The tragic event also claimed the life of Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief and devoted husband and father. Both Dutch and James Copenhaver, who was critically injured in the shooting, have sought legal representation to navigate this challenging time in their lives.
Authorities are still investigating the motive behind the assassination attempt by Thomas Crooks. The FBI is urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward to help with the investigation.
The resilience and courage displayed by David Dutch and others affected by this senseless act of violence serve as a reminder of the strength of the American spirit in the face of adversity. The outpouring of support and well-wishes for Dutch and his family is a testament to the unity and compassion that can arise from tragedy. Let us continue to keep all those impacted by this event in our thoughts and prayers as they heal and seek justice.
