I can't imagine that in a truly dangerous situation, a secret service detail would allow their charge to stand up and scream in full view of any other possible shooter.

And for those who think it was real because someone was killed....when has that man ever cared about any human life but his own? Given who he is surrounded with, I do believe he'd be just fine with one of his supporters taking a bullet for a photo op.
