A Secret service agent there said it was a piece of glass that sliced his ear which made a lot more sense with how it looks, and is in line with Trump's retelling of the story at the RNC, (he heard a buzz go by) but it doesn't really change anything from either side. Trump would have said Jesus personally blocked the bullet no matter what and getting hit by glass rather than a bullet doesn't make it much less traumatic of an event to imagine for those of us with empathy.
Ah good to see someone looked into it. It just struck me as odd to describe the bullet as a buzz. That's only true for a supersonic rifle round in my experience if it's unstable or tumbling, so if it was a ricochet or fragment from whatever else it hit. His descriptions of things aren't exactly reliable anyways though.
If it was a bullet, he should be missing part of his ear. It would probably look like Holyfield's ear post Tyson fight.
