A photograph from the shooting at Donald Trump’s Saturday campaign rally appears to have captured a bullet zipping past the former president before he was injured in an apparent assassination attempt.
The image, taken by veteran New York Times photographer Doug Mills, seems to show a projectile piercing the air to the left of Trump on stage at his event in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to an assessment from retired FBI specialist Michael Harrigan.
On Saturday, Harrigan, who spent 22 years in the agency, told The New York Times that he believes that a bullet is visible in the photograph.
“Given the circumstances, if that’s not showing the bullet’s path through the air, I don’t know what else it would be,” he said.
The Times reported that Mills captured the image while shooting with a shutter speed of 1/8,000th of a second, a speed that the outlet said was “extremely fast by industry standards.”
