Not the overall short volume, but a single position taken out that Friday.

I'm not seeing that in the numbers. The aggregate shorts weren't up the Friday before the assassination attempt. Look at the short interest drop-down. It looks like short interest both on and off exchange was declining through the Friday before it happened. It skyrocketed the Monday after, probably traders trying to profit from the jump in DJT stock from the assassination attempt.
