The family of James "Jim" Copenhaver, 74, released a statement thanking supporters for their kindness and mentioned his "life-altering injuries" sustained during the shooting, Fox News reported.

Copenhaver was reportedly released from the hospital last Friday.

"Jim would like to especially thank the first responders, medics, and hospital staff who have provided him with initial and continuing care," the family said in a statement delivered through Allegheny General Hospital. "Additionally, Jim would like to express his thoughts and prayers for the other victims, their families, and President Trump. He prays for a safe and speedy recovery for them all."

The family, who asked for privacy as the road to recovery continues, also expressed gratitude for those who cared for Copenhaver, KDKA-TV reported.

"Jim would like to especially thank the first responders, medics, and hospital staff who have provided him with initial and continuing care," the statement added.

David "Jake" Dutch, 57, the other man critically injured during the assault, was released from the hospital last Wednesday. He was previously being treated for gunshot wounds to the chest and liver and was in a medically induced coma after the shooting, WPVI-TV reported. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
