A new photo shows just how close a bullet came to killing Donald Trump during a shooting at his campaign rally.
Trump was seen covered in blood after a shooter, who the FBI has since identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, shot the former president’s ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, local time.
The disturbing photo shows a grey line, a moving bullet, flying just inches from Trump’s head.
The photo followed a video which showed the life-saving move Trump made just as a bullet whizzed by his head.
Right before he was struck in the ear, Trump turned his head slightly – a lucky head jerk that potentially spared him from graver injuries, or even death.
A moment after the former president slightly moved his head, the bullet appeared to strike him in the ear.
In the top right corner of the video, a fast-moving grey spot, which may be the bullet, appeared at the eight second mark.
At the end of the clip, Trump clapped his hand to the side of his head as blood can be seen above his ear and streaking across his face.
