??? How about he has just been arrested for death threats and intimidation, was discharged from the military for a "non-physical disability" (his words), and is currently undergoing a psych evaluation so he
might be lying - or simply wrong? I know it's been widely reported that he was shot, that he left the event and drove himself home THEN realized that he had been injured, that he drove himself to the hospital and spent two days in hospital for treatment, and that he claims to have been grazed by two gunshots. I know that the wound on his leg was sutured (not a common remedy for a gunshot graze, which tends to be more a macerated burn, but possible.) I know that under HIPAA the hospital cannot comment on his injuries specifically, to confirm or refute without him signing a release. I know that the sheriff in particular has been from the first hour, and remains, committed to using this shooting to damage conservatives and Republicans, so he's unlikely to contradict such a story. And I know that claims to have been grazed by bullets, at a scene where bullets were certainly flying, are probably going to be taken a face value unless the injuries are obviously not capable of being gunshot wounds.
Put all that together and it's certainly possible that he lied about his injuries, or that he was injured diving for cover and honestly thinks he was shot twice. As I said, if indeed he was shot then I'm all for giving him a lot of latitude, some psychological help rather than prosecution. And it's certainly possible that he was shot twice, didn't realize it, drove himself home, then decided he'd been shot twice and drove himself to the hospital for treatment. But given his bizarre behavior and the circumstances of his wounds, I don't think it's out of line to wonder if he truly was shot.
EDIT: These are some things I found Binging "eric fuller's injuries". I've never before heard of Greg Howard or the Dakota Voice, so salt to taste. I have not investigated their other posts or their links, so fair warning: They may be nuts.
