Former President Trump reached out to the family of James Copenhaver, who was critically wounded during an assassination attempt at Trump’s rally in Butler. Copenhaver, 74, was asleep when the call happened, but Trump plans to speak with him directly at a later time. The Copenhaver family found Trump to be humble, pleasant, and respectful during the conversation.
Copenhaver’s condition was upgraded from critical to serious, and he has been communicative while recovering in the hospital. He expressed condolences for the family of Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the shooting, and offered prayers for the full recovery of David Dutch and President Trump.
Pennsylvania State Police identified the other victim wounded at the rally as 57-year-old David Dutch, who was in stable condition after sustaining two gunshot wounds. Corey Comperatore, a volunteer firefighter who died while protecting his family from gunfire, was remembered by his family as a beloved father, husband, and community leader.
Memorial services for Comperatore began, and his family appreciated the support and prayers they received. Federal authorities are still investigating the motive behind the assassination attempt and are seeking information from the public regarding the incident. If you have any tips, you can contact the FBI.
In the face of tragedy, the community has come together to support the victims and their families. The strength and resilience shown by those affected by the shooting serve as a reminder of the importance of unity and compassion during difficult times. As the investigation continues, the hope for justice and healing remains strong.
