A spokesperson for Turning Point USA provided an update on the assassination of the group’s founder, Charlie Kirk, earlier this month and said that Kirk’s “body stopped” the bullet from producing an exit wound.

Citing a surgeon at the hospital that assisted Kirk, spokesman Andrew Kolvet wrote in a post on X that the bullet that killed Kirk on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University “absolutely should have gone through, which is very very normal for a high powered, high velocity round.”
