"In order for a bullet to break up and cause a fragment, "it's got to hit something substantial [...].

"And from what I saw — clearly, I don't have as much information as people who have been to the scene looking at things — but from what I saw the day of and the day after, was that it was a clear line of sight between the sniper's nest and the podium," said Diaczuk. "And if that's the case, then there's nothing to cause the breakup of a bullet."

Rumors, conspiracy theories and heated opinion flying around on social media after events like Trump getting shot do not help anyone.
A cybersecurity expert writes on how to break the cycle: “Emphasizing facts in the news cycle, integrity in the public square, and critical thinking in our schools seem like good places to start.”

The ConversationSocial media and political violence – how to break the cycleWhen political discourse is devoid of facts and high on demonization, it’s no surprise that political violence is the result. There is a way out, but it’s slow and will take effort.

1) If snipers shot fans off roofs, they'd be in deep shit.
2) The snipers may not have seen the shooter behind the sloped roof from their vantage point until he fired.
3) If Secret Service removed the candidate every time someone shouts man with a gun, and it turns out there is none, phew... easy way to shut Trump up!
4) Police had to verify the claim of the shooter on the roof. They did, and before they could relay the veracity of the claim, the shots were fired. #TrumpShot

The aim was good. It was a head tilt which kept Trump from being a "sucker" in Trump lingo.

This was not a false flag operation.
This wasn't even a giant security failure. Just imagine the Secret Service were in the habit of shooting fans off rooftops.

Should the roof had been secured. YES! But sheesh, it was a building full of cops. For perspective see:
