David “Jake” Dutch walked out of the Trump rally on Saturday, in the aftermath of the failed assassination attempt against President Trump, with a T-shirt bunched up to stop the flow of blood received from two gunshot wounds, according to friends.
Dutch, a 57-year-old Marine Corps veteran who served in Operation Desert Storm, is in critical condition after being struck twice, once in the stomach and once in the liver.
He is one of two people critically injured at the rally.
Tragically, former fire chief for Buffalo Township, Corey Comperatore was killed as he shielded and protected his family.
Fox News reports:
Dutch, a Marine Corps veteran who served in Operation Desert Storm in 1991, was struck twice at the Trump rally — once in the stomach and once in the liver, according to those who know him at the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars lodges in Lower Burrell.
“He’s been a tremendous help to this club,” VFW commander Lee Johnson told Fox News Digital. “He’s involved with a couple different things we have here at the club. And I just feel so bad for David, his wife … great people. They’ve been members here for a long, long time.”

The 57-year-old was apparently showing signs of responsiveness Tuesday, Johnson said, though he did not know the full extent of the Marine vet’s recovery or condition.

Bullet count update:
Round one hit DJT in the ear. Round two killed a retired firefighter. Rounds 3 and 4 hit the Marine veteran critically injuring him. Round 5 struck and critically injured another bystander.
What am I missing?
I bet DJT will help all victims and families.
and the mumbling walking corpse will go to bed.
Rep. Ronny Jackson’s nephew grazed on the neck.
Good likelihood. Suing the parents of a 20 year-old may not be successful.
I know they probably can’t, but sue the Governemnt/Secret Service.
You can bet if it was a public corporation in charge, lawsuits would already be undrway.
Prayers up!

Dutch was on the top right row with an American flag type t-shirt. Mostly white IIRC. Just on trying to recall the video (about the sound analysis) there was a man in the row below Dutch and just to Dutch’s right that had a blue shirt.
The youtube “expert” showed a puff of something off of the metal railing. He surmised that is one of the bullets that went through Dutch - and may have been a larger caliber than the common .223 to be able to penetrate a body and still have enough energy to hit the railing with such force. (I have no idea.)
