One of the individuals who was shot and injured at a rally held by former President Donald Trump this month in Pennsylvania has been released from hospital, it has been confirmed.
Marine veteran David Dutch, 57, was discharged from Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of July 24, a spokesperson for the hospital said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.
The hospital spokesperson did not provide further details regarding Mr. Dutch’s condition or the exact nature of the injuries he sustained during the shooting at the July 13 rally in Butler County.
He was one of three individuals—including former President Trump—who survived when Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire in an attempt to assassinate the 45th president.
Mr. Copenhaver remains hospitalized at Allegheny General Hospital in “serious but stable condition,” the hospital spokesperson told The Epoch Times.
Meanwhile, former President Trump was struck in his right ear by one of the bullets, which left a 2 cm wide wound.
He has since made a full recovery.
“David and our entire family are especially grateful to all the first responders and medical professionals who saved his life, including the Life Flight and trauma surgical teams at AGH,” his family said in the statement.
“As we focus on David’s recovery, we also offer our deepest condolences and prayers for the other victims of this tragic event and their families.”
The Secret Service is responsible for protecting current and former U.S. presidents.
However, Ms. Cheatle acknowledged during testimony before Congress before resigning that the assassination attempt was the agency’s “most significant operational failure” in decades.
