Wow.

@dougmillsnyt with the shot(s) of the century.

First photo: round in air

Second photo: Trump touches ear

Third photo: blood on hand

It’s *insane* how close the country was to a complete disaster today.

5. Thank you!

6. Added another one below

Couldn't for the life of me spot it otherwise - I hadn't twigged it was supposed to show a trajectory AFTER grazing the ear.

4. This version supposedly shows the path of the "bullet" after it grazed Trump's ear:

ETA a better version:

8. That is much clearer.

On close inspection, I think it looks like a blurred bullet, a stretched out silvery metallic cylinder. Zoom in and see what you all think.

The other theory floating is it was a shard of glass from a nearby teleprompter, but later reports showed no damage to the teleprompters.

Anyway…yikes. This was a close call.
