Turning Point USA officials revealed shocking new details about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, with a surgeon calling the bullet wound that killed him a “miracle.”
TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said Saturday that even in death, Kirk may have prevented more tragedy.
Kolvet told supporters he spoke directly with the surgeon who operated on Kirk after the September 10 shooting at Utah Valley University.
According to Kolvet, the surgeon described the round that struck Kirk as one that “absolutely should have gone through.”
The doctor said such rounds almost always exit and cause catastrophic damage to anything in their path.
“I’ve seen wounds from this caliber many times and they always just go through everything,” the surgeon reportedly said. “This would have taken a moose or two down, an elk, etc.”
But in Kirk’s case, the bullet stopped, as Fox News reported, citing a tweet by Kolvet.
The surgeon called it “an absolute miracle that someone else didn’t get killed,” noting that dozens of staff, students, and guests were directly behind Kirk when he was shot.
The bullet, instead of passing through, lodged just beneath Kirk’s skin.
The doctor pointed to Kirk’s bone structure as the reason, saying his bone was “so healthy” and “so impressive” that it absorbed the impact.
Kolvet described the surgeon as stunned, calling Kirk “like the man of steel.”
The revelation changes the way many are looking at Kirk’s final moments.
Had the bullet exited, it would have torn into the tightly packed crowd inside the university tent.
The surgeon stressed the outcome was far from normal, saying that by all medical expectations, multiple lives should have been lost.
Kolvet repeated the doctor’s words on X, writing, “Even in death, Charlie managed to save the lives of those around him. Remarkable. Miraculous.”
The new details highlight what supporters are already calling Kirk’s final act of service.
Kirk’s death shook the conservative movement, but the medical account now paints him as a protector in his last seconds.
TPUSA officials continue to spotlight his last speech, his years of activism, and now the extraordinary testimony of the surgeon who fought to save him.
Kirk’s supporters have already begun circulating Kolvet’s words, calling the story proof of his strength and courage.
Many are saying his legacy will not just be the ideas he fought for but the lives spared in the tent that day.
Following Kirk’s assassination, TPUSA announced that the late conservative firebrand’s wife, Erika Kirk, would take over as CEO of the organization.
