Pic of rally layout for perspective

I see a lot of comments/theories/questions arising from a lack of perspective of the rally layout. The cameras depth of field make it seem like the onlookers are mere feet behind Trump and that there is only one central bleacher. "Why aren't people behind Trump looking wounded?"

The bullets came from Trump's right and struck the set of bleachers in the lower right of the picture. (Captured the pic from the press conference).

The pictures and video we've seen running everywhere really do not give a good sense of where everyone was during the shooting, and the bleachers/people being struck where not on camera at the time. I thought this would help and maybe answer some of the posts I've been seeing.
