Two others were sent to the hospital with severe injuries.

Here’s a quick update on their conditions.

From CBS Pittsburgh:

One of the men who was shot at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler County was released from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon.

New Kensington native David “Jake” Dutch, 57, was discharged from Allegheny General Hospital, Allegheny Health Network confirmed in an update. Seventy-four-year-old James Copenhaver, the other man who was injured, is still in the hospital in stable but serious condition, AHN said.

Dutch and Copenhaver were critically injured when a gunman opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler County on Saturday, July 13. One person, 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, was killed. Trump was grazed in the ear.

Dutch’s friends told KDKA-TV he is a dedicated U.S. Marine who loves his country and often visits the American Legion #868 in Lower Burrell with his wife.

And on Friday, the second surviving victim, 74-year-old grandfather James Copenhaver, was discharged. His family says his injuries were life-altering and he still has a long road to recovery, but thankfully, he has survived.

The New York Post reported:

One of the men critically wounded at Trump’s deadly campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this month has been released from the hospital, but still has a long road to recovery, his family said Sunday.

James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township, suffered “life-altering injuries” after he was struck by errant bullets fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was perched on a nearby rooftop taking aim at former President Trump at the July 13 event.

He was one of three rally-goers shot and the last surviving victim to be released from the hospital.

The retired grandfather expressed gratitude for the “outpouring of support” he received while recovering at Allegheny General Hospital in a statement from his family, KDKA reported.

“Jim would like to especially thank the first responders, medics, and hospital staff who have provided him with initial and continuing care,” the family said in their statement.

Copenhaver has also kept Trump — whose ear was grazed by a bullet as he stood on stage — and the other rally victims in his thoughts and prayers.

“He prays for a safe and speedy recovery for them all,” the outlet writes, with his family asking for privacy while he recovers “from this horrible, senseless, and unnecessary act of violence.”

God is good.

Please keep both of these men and their families in your prayers.
