If he's uninjured then I have to assume this was staged.

Trump may have a slight injury to his ear.
For a less conspiratorial take, here's a NYTimes archive / live version :
When the pops began at 6:13 p.m., Mr. Trump appeared to grab his right ear, which appeared to be bleeding as he left the stage.
Here's the cspan footage where you can see it for yourself: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5123735/shots-fired-trump-rally
Looks like it could have been staged to me. They claimed there was smoke from the bleachers. Hopefully they release the caliber so a gun model and round can be assumed, and we can check how much those smoke.
At least two confirmed dead:
Butler County District attorney told the Associated Press (AP) that a shooter was dead and that a rally attendee had also been killed.
Dang. Sad those innocent people had to be the ones killed.
Not staged. Two people dead and two critically injured, and Trump has a nicked ear.
Well that clears it up for me! There's just no way Trump would risk himself like that. This was real.
My first thought. The blood splatter looked inconsistent with the wound. I guess we will find out soon
Idk about splatter, but how is it that, with all the people behind and around him, not a single one was struck by any of those missed shots? This improbable scene will generate unprecedented donations, as well as armed crackpots who will be going on vendettas.
The whole thing smacks of theatrics.
I'm hearing reporting that there is at least 1 attendee seriously injured or killed. This is still very recent, we don't have details yet.
There was someone shot other than Trump
Apparently it was from the back left
He was shot by a sniper from a rooftop. Not staged
Well I think we can all be certain there won't be any huge downwind effects from this 😐
