A photograph from the shooting at Donald Trump s Saturday campaign rally appears to have captured a bullet zipping past the former president before he was injured in an apparent assassination attempt .

The image, taken by veteran New York Times photographer Doug Mills, seems to show a projectile piercing the air to the left of Trump on stage at his event in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to an assessment from retired FBI specialist Michael Harrigan.

On Saturday, Harrigan, who spent 22 years in the agency, told The New York Times that he believes that a bullet is visible in the photograph.

Given the circumstances, if thats not showing the bullets path through the air, I dont know what else it would be, he said.

The Times reported that Mills captured the image while shooting with a shutter speed of 1/8,000th of a second, a speed that the outlet said was extremely fast by industry standards.

The sound of several gunshots rang through the rally as Trumps Secret Service detail jumped to cover the politician with their bodies before rushing him off stage.

Trumps ear appeared to be bleeding as he was hurried off to his motorcade.

The suspect in the attempted assassination, whom the FBI has identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was subsequently neutralized by Secret Service personnel, according to a statement from the agency.

Following the attack, the Secret Service announced that Trump was safe and seeking medical attention.

During an FBI briefing on Saturday, law enforcement officials shared that gunfire at the event killed one rally attendee and injured two others. The victims were identified as adult men.
