Marine veteran who survived Trump rally shooting remains in medically induced coma

A military veteran who survived the shooting at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania is in a stable condition but in a medically induced coma after being shot.

David Dutch, 57, was a spectator in the crowd when he was injured in the assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, police said.

Alongside Dutch, who is from New Kensington, PA, another victim who also survived the attack and is in stable condition has been identified by Pennsylvania State Police as  74-year-old James Copenhaver, of Moon Township, PA.

A third victim who was attending the rally with his family was killed in the attack after he threw his loved ones to the ground and shielded them from the bullets fired. He was identified as 50-year-old former fire chief Corey Comperatore from Sarver, PA, and dubbed a “real-life superhero” by his daughter, Allyson Comperatore, in a since removed social media post.

Comperatore leaves behind a wife and two daughters, Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro said on Sunday afternoon.

“Corey died a hero,” Shapiro said. “Corey dived on his family to protect them last
