One third of those who support Trump's Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden said they believe the attack may have been staged and had never been intended to kill the former president.

No, without a medical report or a police report of any kind, it's not petty politics to question if Trump was grazed by a bullet or hit by flying debris just as the cops who were near him were:

UPDATE 4:50 p.m. Sunday
11 Investigates has learned that four Pittsburgh police officers assigned to the former president's motorcade yesterday suffered minor injuries during the shooting.
The four motorcycle officers were part of Donald Trump's escort to and from the rally in Butler.
Sources tell Chief Investigator Rick Earle the officers were just feet away from Trump when shots rang out. The four officers suffered minor injuries from flying debris caused by the bullets.
Sources say the officers were hit with either plastic or metal fragments when the bullets struck objects nearby.
They were treated at the scene. They were okay to escort Trump back to the airport in Pittsburgh last night after he was treated at Butler Memorial Hospital.
Trust but verify, but in this case I don't trust Trump. He is a pathological liar, and in his mind it probaby makes for a more compelling story if he was grazed by the bullet than hit by flying debris. If he was crazed by a bullet, okay. Republicans are still claiming, however, that the shooter was out to kill Trump because of Democrats' rhetoric against him, and so far at least there isn't evidence of that either. In fact what little evidence has come out indicates Crooks searched on both Biden and Trump's rally schedules, and had photos of Biden, Trump, Merritt Garland and Christopher Wray on his phone, so it doesn't look right now that he was looking to target only Trump and/or Republicans.
