      150 - 200 m should not be a big problem for an average soldier with an AR and iron sights. Surely they would not aim for the head - which makes it easier too.

          Ah, that helps answer a question I’ve been having, which is whether we’re sure the bystander was killed by the assassin or if it’s possible he was hit by return fire from the Secret Service. Being between Trump and the assassin means yes, the latter is possible.

          (Maybe a definitive determination of which possibility happened has come out already, but if it has I don’t know about it.)
