He didn’t get shot. He got hit with debris from a ricochet.

An important distinction. I’ll edit my comment

So what evidence convinced you that was the case?

Aside from the multiple news sources reporting that he was hit by glass fragments from the teleprompter, the wound is pretty obviously not from a bullet. An intact bullet would have caused much more damage, which would have taken much longer to heal.

Edit: I’m not linking to any articles because I have no idea what news sources you’re going to claim are “fake news”. The information is out there if you want to find it, and plenty of information claiming “he took a bullet for his country” if you don’t.

lol I wasn’t planning on calling anything fake news. I was just curious if there was more to it than the teleprompter fragment bit, which I don’t believe. But it has always been perplexing to me that the wound was so “minimal” and how quickly it seemed to just be gone. Like look at the interview from the Black Journalists convention. It looks fuckin’ fine lmao

By the way, I don’t believe the teleprompter bit simply because it doesn’t seem physically possible. Maybe I’m wrong. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Idk, if someone shoots at you and misses, you still get shot.

I guess in both cases it boils down to aim
