- Mills captured a bullet flying near Trump’s head as well as the chaotic aftermath where Trump was bloodied and escorted offstage by Secret Service agents.
- Mills credited his decades-long presidential coverage and sports photography experience for helping him respond quickly during the shots and later helped debunk misinformation about Trump’s injuries.

- Despite the photo's impact, a separate iconic image by Evan Vucci showing Trump post-shooting was controversially snubbed for a Pulitzer, sparking outrage among Trump’s supporters who claimed bias.
