He was indeed hit by flying glass from the shattered teleprompter (struck by bullet), as was other people close by.

If the bullet has come into contact with his ear, it would've ripped it off.

It's starting to look like no bullet came anywhere near him, just around him.

It's all a very strange affair. Something definitely doesn't sit right.

Rumor That Shards of Glass, Not Bullet, Injured Trump in Assassination Attempt Is False

Did broken glass from a teleprompter cause Trump's wound, as online posts have claimed?

Snopes

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow @harriettmb

No, it's not false, it's now openly reported across the media.

You suggesting otherwise is spreading pro-trump fake news.

And that's all there is to it.

I'm not making the claim, snopes is

And I don't like trump, or the GOP

OK. Please accept my apologies, and I'll go and dig up the link to one of the sources and publish here.

This is one of the reports, but I think they may have been leaned on by Trumps people. See if you're able to access it.

@JSharp1436 @harriettmb @Captain_Jack_Sparrow FFS. I think Trump is an existential threat, a narcissistic, misogynistic idiot who is guaranteed to be elected President because there are so many, many stupid Americans walking this planet. He is going to cuddle up to Putin and wreck NATO. But, it’s a big but, some deranged fool tried to kill him with a rifle. Whether his injuries were caused by a bullet wound or by shattered glass is 100% immaterial.
