This was also my first thought. Getting shot in the hear is incredibly lucky plus stopping for a great campaign photo is sus.
This "attempt" secures his win most likely.

This Trump assasination attempt looks staged. If so, I saw this happen once before before an election in Taiwan. It is known as the 319 "attempted assasination" event that got the then current corrupt president, Chen Shui-bian, who was losing in the polls, re-elected.

The official story was that Chen was grazed by a bullet from a homemade gun. Many people, including myself, believe it to have been a staged assasination attempt designed to get him reelected. It worked. He was later convicted on corruption charges and served time.

Watching this video, I have many questions.

Who gets shots fired at them and stops to poke their head out and pump a fist at the crowd? What EP agents would allow a mark to do that? Why didn't the crowd behind him drop to the ground or try to run?

Looking forward to finding out more details as they are released.
