Are the MSM trying to suggest that the would-be assassin was firing semi-randomly and hit Trump accidentally?

How's this for what all but certainly actually happened:
* Would-be assassin's carefully aimed first shot grazed Trump because Trump moved slightly;
* Trump went down, out of would-be assassin's line of sight;
* He fired several more shots to kill/injure more Trump advocates.
What the MSM seem to be implying is implausible. Were the would-be assassin mere attacking the Trump crowd at random he would have sprayed shots into the midst of the large crowd or the midst of those on the platform. Trump would not have been hit in an actual random spray of shots.
Some days I have an OK grasp on the grossly obvious.
