Trump had turned his head to his right, looking at the extreme left end of the bleachers (and in the direction of the shooter), just before the shot was fired. The shot crossed the stage area from left to right, from the crowd's perspective. The teleprompter was probably not in the right place to deflect the bullet. Trump is a fortunate man - seems like he leaned forward against the podium just as the shot was fired. It was that close. The shooter had the elevation dialed in, it was Trump's motion that saved the day. Hand of God stuff, IMO.
Eyewitness account of rally attendee's death
Pretty solid interview here. This man was sitting right between the shooter's position and Trump.
Yes, that guy got the number of shots right. No small feat when it is several shots and you are under a LOT of stress.
An OB-GYN sitting right near the man who was killed instantly with a head shot- in view of his horrified family members. A woman shot through the hand and forearm near the deceased. This physician counted 7 shots, and the one that hit DJT was after the head shot man, rapidly after (automatic fire from distance?) A medical professional who helped carry this poor man’s body to an aid tent, along with an ER physician who is interviewed elsewhere (who professionally stated CPR attempted, the man was beyond help). God Bless the memory of this man.
There needs to be help gotten to his family who were with him there, happy to be there to see our President. Damn the people who organized this— the sturmabteilung for the demonrats- there is no other word for them.
