John Cullen video:
"It looks like a round that sailed past Trump and hit the railing in the stands to his left.

Agreed.
John Cullen is now saying it might be from the water tower. That is to far of range (230 yards) for an amateur (hitting the Head.) The chest wouldn't be a kill shot with the vest.
Though to be sure is there any video of the water tower near the time of the shooting?

230 yards - I disagree - not too far for an amateur if he has some knowledge.

I shot my first (and only) rifle match with an M1-Garand at 200 yards with open sights. Despite having an old WW2 stock with actual matchbooks used as spacers to tighten the mechanics to the stock, I was able to shoot around a 3 inch group from prone position.

A shooter with a scope would have no problem at 230 yards as long as he’d learned about steady holds, breathing control, and had a mechanically sound rifle.

I will admit that I’m kind of a gun guy, so that may sway my judgement a bit.
