Donald Trump is “safe following gunshots in his vicinity” Sunday, his campaign said. Officials believe an armed person intended to target the former president, sources say. Follow here for the latest.
The effective range of an AK-47 is 380 yards. The shots were taken somewhere between 300 and 500 yards. I don’t think the shooter had a chance of making that shot and it is more likely that he was just trying to make himself famous.
The guy was behind a fence, with just the barrel of the gun poking through, so it’s not too surprising their shots missed.

Think of how more famous he would be if he took out the first p[resident who attempted a coup and tried to get his VP killed!
