Definitely a planned assassination attempt. Used as the rallying call for his supporters. The picture of him holding his fist up just after being shot at proved it; no one, I believe, would be able to muster that sort of gusto after having a real attempt on their life.

He just caught a scratch. Holding up his arm isn't the smart thing to do but that just makes it more authentic.
