The two critically injured victims have been identified as David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, PA, and James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township, PA.
Thankfully, both men are now reported to be stable and recovering.
President Trump, who was shot in the ear, was transported to a medical facility and released later that day.
The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was fatally shot by counter-snipers seconds after the shooting began.
Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris released the names while speaking to reporters on Sunday. “These victims and their families are certainly in our thoughts today. The Pennsylvania State Police continue to work tirelessly alongside our federal, state, and local partners as this investigation continues,” Paris said.
