The NYT photographer captured the moment the bullet passed close to Trump's

In documenting the campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday afternoon that turned into an assassination attempt on a former president, Doug Mills, a veteran New York Times photographer, appeared to capture the image of a bullet passing through the former president's head. President Donald J. Trump.

That's the assessment of Michael Harrigan, an FBI retiree who spent 22 years with the bureau.

"It absolutely could show air displacement due to a projectile," Harrigan said in an interview Saturday night after reviewing high-resolution images that Mr. Mills presented from the rally. "The angle seems a little low to go through his ear, but not impossible if the gunman fired several rounds."

Simple ballistics math showed that capturing a bullet like Mills likely did in a photo was possible.

Mills was using a Sony digital camera capable of capturing images at up to 30 frames per second. He took these photos at a shutter speed of 1/8,000 of a second – extremely fast by industry standards.

The other factor is the velocity of the bullet from the firearm. On Saturday, law enforcement authorities recovered an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle at the scene from a dead white man they believe was the gunman.
