 All very possible. There are just not enough angles and details at this point. However, I do know from years of executive protection training that we are trained to shield the mark and remove them from the scene as quickly as possible. You do not allow the mark to say, hold on, let me get my shoes, then fist pump and pose for photos before doing this. The reason for this is that there could be another active shooter. This is basic stuff. Get the mark to safety. Do not allow them to stop for a photo op. Either way, looking forward to more details as they become available. 
 Me too. 

I’ll add that there is historical precedent for people abandoning some training during situations like this. And - if this was a deep state, premeditated attempt - there is always the possibility that they strayed from protocol intentionally, to allow for another opportunity.

No way to know for sure without more information. 
 I agree almost wholly  with Zach. 

There needs to be some pause here.

 Except secret service is shouting Shooter is down just before Trump is rising.
