As someone else mentioned, this isn’t confirmed, it’s just what some law enforcement have claimed. However the teleprompter system has multiple reflectors off to each side so that the speaker can look side to side while tallking and still have their prompts. So it’s possible to have the glass blow back to one side of Trump. I am sure we will find out more in the coming days and weeks…
I saw the posts yesterday about how he was not accepted at his high school club for being a “comically” bad shot, which explains why this was so bad, but doesn’t explain how it was so good as the latest reports are saying he only missed Trump because he turned his head the moment he pulled the trigger.
What’s also odd is why he chose to use a gun to begin with, especially one without a scope. I’ve also read he has some kind of explosive devices in his car.
At the end of the day he seems to be painted as just another young white outcast male who dealt with bullying and social rejection, like most of the other mass shooters.
The only missing piece now seems to be motive. Guess the dude has been confirmed by multiple sources to be far right conservative. Why would he try to assassinate Trump?
