- On Thursday, House Republicans confirmed that Jim Copenhaver, a 74-year-old survivor of the 2024 assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, has died.
- Copenhaver sustained life-altering injuries on July 13, 2024, when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at the Butler Farm Show grounds, wounding Copenhaver and David Dutch while killing Corey Comperatore.
- After the shooting, Copenhaver endured recurring stomach pain, weight loss of approximately 30 pounds, and needed a cane to walk. In June 2026, he and Dutch sued the United States, alleging Secret Service security failures.
