Unbelievable PHOTO / Photo in the US captures the trajectory of the bullet fired
Doug Mills, a New York Times photographer, appears to have captured the image of a bullet passing through the side of former President Donald J. Trump's head.

That's the assessment of Michael Harrigan, a retired FBI agent.

'The angle looks a little low for a headshot, but not impossible if the gunman fired multiple times,' Harrigan said in an interview Saturday night after reviewing high-resolution images Mills presented of the rally.

Simple ballistics math showed that capturing a bullet in the photo was possible, Harrigan said.

Mills was using a Sony digital camera capable of capturing images at up to 30 frames per second. He took these photos at a 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.

'Most cameras used to capture images of bullets in flight use special extremely high-speed cameras not normally used for regular photography, so capturing a bullet on a sideways trajectory as seen in that photo would be a one shot in a million and almost impossible to catch even if one knew the bullet was coming,' he said.
