All together at least 4 people were struck with bullets; Trump, the guy who died and 2 others critically wounded. Yet, the assassin fired 3 bullets before what we took for return fire from the Secret Service or police. Somebody has to account for the discrepancy. Ricochet or second shooter?
The bullet that hit Trump’s ear may have been the same one that killed the guy in the stands.
Firemen on scene said one bullet stuck a speaker tower and another struck a hydraulic line on a crane and that hydraulic fluid was spraying everywhere and the hydraulic line was spinning all around spraying fluid.

I’m no ballistic expert, but I doubt that Trump’s ear lessened the velocity and lethality of the 5.56 round appreciably.
It’s not quite the same as the ‘magic bullet’ that we are told entered the back of JFK’s neck, exited the front of his neck, entered Connally’s shoulder, exited his chest, went through his wrist, and finally came to rest in his thigh, only to fall out in pristine condition on his gurney.
