The effective range of an AK-47 is 380 yards. The shots were taken somewhere between 300 and 500 yards. I don’t think the shooter had a chance of making that shot and it is more likely that he was just trying to make himself famous.
Attempted assassination will get your name on TV and in the history books. It might get you killed or locked up for life, though. So it depends on your life goals.
The guy was behind a fence, with just the barrel of the gun poking through, so it’s not too surprising their shots missed.

Think of how more famous he would be if he took out the first p[resident who attempted a coup and tried to get his VP killed!
well, that’s probably not best way to do it…
Yeah, probably not. But would-be assassins aren’t necessarily the sharpest people around.
that’s survivorship bias… we just don’t know the names and faces of the smart ones ;)
