So far this is the best pic I could find so far -- open it in a new tab to apnews.com
That is a better pic... good on you for that!
If the shots came from inside the crowd, as it currently seems they did, the rounds would have travelled at an upward angle, and could have nicked or taken out a small chunk of his ear, around where his ear is most bloody.
Trump would have had to be basically looking right at the shooter.
That would make more sense than a downward trajectory from a building or something.
New info from TV coverage says the shooter was outside the secured area and had climbed a low nearby roof.
Edit for clarity: this is not yet confirmed, so we'll surely hear more later
Yep, more and more people on CNN are saying as much.
That would make the elevation difference either flat, or possibly still slightly upward or slightly downward depending on the height of the podium vs surrounding terrain vs height of the apparently single story building the guy was on.
My main point was that a nicking of the top of the ear would be less likely from a more significant downward trajectory, such as the top of a 20 story building or something like that.
That trajectory would be more likely to take more of the ear off, going downward further through the ear from where the bloodiest area can be seen in the images.
