The shooter missed with a 80% hit chance

My XCOM experience tells me this still could have gone worse

The other guy was in VATS

Okay, so, the shooter was close enough that those gunshot sounds are nearly real time, he's really really close to the camera in gun terms. And the SS sniper reacts just before the shots are audible. So, assuming the audio is actually synced to the video, it really looks like he noticed teh shooter a fraction of a second before the shooter began firing.

Yeah, other witness reports kinda add to this. Security maybe just wasn't on the ball on this one. If the assassin couldn't hit Donny, it's reasonable other sharpshooters being made aware of the dude seconds before weren't setting up their best shots.
