David Dutch Speaks After Being Released From Hospital
Hello everyone, let’s discuss an update on a tragic event that shook the nation last month—an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
One of the survivors, David Dutch, a 57-year-old Marine veteran, has spoken out for the first time since his release from Allegheny County General Hospital. Dutch, who was shot twice during the incident, issued a heartfelt statement through his attorney, expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support he and his family have received.
In the statement, Dutch and his family extended their thanks to everyone who has kept them in their thoughts and prayers, including friends, fellow Americans, and even those from abroad. They also expressed deep appreciation for the brave individuals who saved Dutch’s life, mentioning the police officers, medics, life flight crew, and medical professionals at Allegheny General Hospital who have been pivotal in his recovery process.
Dutch and his family also paid tribute to Corey Comperatore, a husband, father, and former fire chief who tragically lost his life while shielding his family from gunfire during the rally.
Comperatore’s actions were nothing short of heroic, and Dutch’s statement reflects the deep sorrow and respect felt for his sacrifice. Additionally, Dutch expressed thoughts and prayers for James Copenhaver, another survivor who, like Dutch, was shot twice while attending the rally to show support for Trump.
The statement also touched on Dutch’s admiration for President Trump, praising him for not cowering in the face of danger and continuing his mission to restore America’s strength and economic standing. It’s clear that Dutch and his family hold a deep respect for the former president and his efforts.
Both Dutch and Copenhaver have retained legal representation as they navigate the aftermath of this horrific event. They have requested privacy from the public and media as Dutch continues his recovery.
As for the investigation, federal authorities are still working to determine the motive behind the shooting. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, is currently under investigation by the FBI, which has urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
