Man wounded in 2024 Trump assassination attempt dies in Pennsylvania

James Copenhaver, a man injured during an assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump last year, died Wednesday at Allegheny Health Network's West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, according to the Allegheny County medical examiner.

Copenhaver was among those wounded during the 2024 incident targeting the former president. Details surrounding the circumstances of his death and the extent of his injuries from the assassination attempt were not immediately available.

The death marks another tragic consequence of the violent incident that occurred during the 2024 campaign period. The case had drawn national attention as one of several security incidents involving the former president during his public activities.

Local authorities and the medical examiner's office confirmed Copenhaver's passing through official statements. The incident underscored ongoing concerns about security and violence in American political discourse.
