Or image was just photoshopped by photographer to receive some fame and hype.
As for calculations, they are OK, but I'm in doubt that shutter speed is real time of CMOS sensor exposure. This exposure values are legacy standard from film cameras. Exposure setting was estimated from illumination brightness along with film sensitivity value for best results. CMOS sensors have different properties, including sensitivity and working principle.
Exposure settings (along with "film sensitivity" (ISO) setting) in digital cameras made to be compatible with photo tradition. In CMOS sensor, exposure is really integration time, and ISO is amplifier gain, and they are completely different from exposure and ISO for film camera. So it is very possible that 1/8000 setting on camera have nothing to do with real CMOS sensor exposition (integration time) and it is inapropriate to calculate bullet speed from that virtual "shutter speed" that provided just for compatibility with film cameras setting.
AFAIK in Sony Alpha digital cameras, CMOS sensor integration time is less than shutter time, to cut off opening and closing times. CMOS sensor get image only when shutter is fully open with some delay after shutter fully open, unlike film in film camera that is exposed already at the beginning of shutter opening, and continue being axposed during closing, just with less light. At high shutter speeds like 1/8000 CMOS sensor "exposure" could be more than 2 times less than this film camera value.

He's already got fame, he was the guy who took the George Bush picture in the school during 911. What are the odds he'd suddenly be at a Trump rally to catch a bullet. I suspect he was hoping for a head shot in high res 4k. He claims he always travels with Presidents - except Trump isn't President and there was no reason for him to be at that rally, let alone with a camera on that fast shutter speed. He was there to capture an historic image, much like the Zapruder film, except this one wouldn't be grainy, they'd could all get off watching Trumps exploding brain in detail and completely demoralise his supporters by playing it non stop.

Didn't know that. Very interesting, thanks.
