    Marine veteran David Dutch — one of the surviving victims shot at former President Donald Trump’s Butler, Pa. campaign rally — was released from the hospital Wednesday.

    Dutch, 57, was discharged from Allegheny General Hospital following an 11-day stay after he was shot at the Republican presidential nominee’s July 13 outdoor rally, hospital officials said.

    Dutch, of New Kensington, was struck twice — once in the chest and once in the liver — when 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks began shooting from a nearby rooftop in an assassination attempt on Trump.

    He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and was put into a medically induced coma while he underwent multiple surgeries, according to the Marine Corps League’s (MCL) Department of Pennsylvania.

    A second wounded rally-goer, James Copenhaver, is still undergoing treatment at Allegheny, where he’s listed in serious, but stable condition, according to the medical staff.

    Copenhaver, a 74-year-old retired grandfather from Moon Township, was also shot by Crooks and suffered “life-altering injuries,” his family previously said in a statement.

    A third victim, 50-year-old married father of two girls and fireman Corey Comperatore, was shot and killed during the rally while Trump suffered a graze wound to his ear.

    Comperatore, a former volunteer fire chief in Buffalo Township, reportedly dove in front of his wife and kids when the gunfire erupted.

    Crooks was shot and killed by Secret Service agents soon after he opened fire.

    The Secret Service agency has come under fire for failing to prevent the shooting after spotting Crooks on the roof before he pulled the trigger.

    Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned Tuesday following the backlash.
