David Dutch and James Copenhaver, the two men injured in the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, were both discharged from the hospital recently.
Dutch, 57, was released from Allegheny General Hospital on July 24, while Copenhaver, 74, was discharged on July 26.
Copenhaver, who suffered critical injuries at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, is reported to be recovering from “life-altering” wounds. His family expressed gratitude for the support received during his recovery.
Former fire chief Corey Comperatore, 50, was killed at Trump’s rally on July 13 while trying to shield his wife and two daughters from gunfire.
During the attack, a bullet or its fragments struck Trump in the ear, as confirmed by the FBI, NBC News has reported.
The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by a Secret Service sharpshooter.
In response, the House unanimously voted to create a bipartisan task force to investigate the incident and prevent future occurrences.
Additionally, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned following criticism of her agency’s preparedness and her congressional testimony.
