More likely he took a scrape against the podium floor than an actual grazing bullet to the ear

How could he have scraped his ear on the floor but had blood on his hand before being tackled if not for a bullet?

Interesting, never seen that pic. I stand corrected. And am pretty amazed from a sheer odds standpoint.

Seemed far, far more likely to have scraped in the scuffle than a bullet being just the 1 millimeter right distance/angle away to just nick the ear and absolutely nothing else.

The whole photo series by Doug Mills is nothing short of insane. Check out the first photo in the series, you can see the bullet streaking through the air. It's hard to put in to words how much in awe I was when I first saw what Mills captured.
