Leonard says video from the shooting gives no indication Trump was grazed by a bullet fragment ... instead, he tells us he's confident the bullet grazed Trump's ear before hitting anything else ... and doesn't believe Trump wasn't cut by broken glass from a teleprompter.

00:00Basically, the shooter in this particular case, from what I've seen and read about,
00:06was shooting an AR-15 type weapon, which fires a .223 caliber cartridge.
00:13.223 caliber cartridge is a very small cartridge.
00:18.223 is in reference to its diameter of the bullet itself.
00:24Very small bullet, very light bullet, 51 grains, which means that it's just under two ounces
00:31that it weighs, and it travels in speeds up to 32 to 3,400 feet per second.
00:37It causes devastating wounds because of the speed that the projectile is traveling.
00:44The projectile itself is very unstable if it hits anything.
00:48If it ricochets or it glances off anything, it'll cause the bullet to tumble very easily.
00:56It's not very stable if it has to go through anything.
00:59When I was looking at the video and the different diagrams and so forth that the media provided,
01:05I didn't see anything that was impeding where the shooter was to where Mr. Trump was.
01:12These bullets, they're traveling at extreme rate of speed.
01:15If they hit something, they're going to fragment, they're going to tumble, okay?
01:20In my opinion, when it went and it hit Mr. Trump, it was a bullet that actually grazed him and not a fragment.
01:27There was no indication that there were any fragments hit on any other part of Mr. Trump.
01:33There was no secondary impacts that I could see based on what was observed through the media.
01:40Depending where that teleprompter was in relation to where Mr. Trump was and in relation to where the shooter was firing from,
01:49I didn't observe any shards of glass or anything.
01:52In my opinion, there would have been shards from that teleprompter on Mr. Trump if, in fact, it did hit it.
