TPUSA: Surgeon calls Charlie Kirk’s bullet wound ‘a miracle’ that saved others
https://twitter.com/AndrewKolvet/status/1969551427648569633Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said Saturday that even in death, Charlie Kirk may have saved lives.In a post on X, Kolvet addressed online discussion about the lack of an exit wound after Kirk was shot on Sept. 10. He said he spoke directly with the surgeon who worked on Kirk at the hospital.
According to Kolvet, the surgeon explained that the round “absolutely should have gone through, which is very very normal for a high powered, high velocity round. I’ve seen wounds from this caliber many times and they always just go through everything. This would have taken a moose or two down, an elk, etc.”
But in this case, the bullet stopped. “It was an absolute miracle that someone else didn’t get killed,” the surgeon reportedly told Kolvet, noting that dozens of staff, students, and special guests had been standing behind Kirk inside the tent at Utah Valley University.
Kolvet said the doctor described Kirk’s bone as “so healthy” and “so impressive that he’s like the man of steel.” The bullet was eventually found lodged just beneath the skin.
“Even in death, Charlie managed to save the lives of those around him,” Kolvet wrote. “Remarkable. Miraculous.”
