I don't think he got help. I think he may have caused the shooter to take his shots and that's what saved Trump.
At first i thought why didn't he shoot him too but then I'm thinking about it, playing it out in my head.
he likely didn't have his gun drawn, probably thought it was some body trying to get a better view. Didn't think to draw, see rifle pointed at him and instead of taking a bullet but alerting the ss in doing so, he retreats (possibly falls, wind knocked out of him) and shooter takes those shots knowing his intent was compromised.
He has to get shots off knowing they will be cutting off his escape. He had explosives in his car so he was all in but still planned for an escape of sorts. His plan didn't include being taken out by SS sniper.
