Brian Harpole, head of security for Charlie Kirk, has publicly addressed conspiracy theories surrounding Kirk’s death and vehemently refuted suggestions of involvement by Kirk’s wife, Erika. In an interview, Harpole detailed the medical explanation he received regarding the absence of an exit wound. According to the doctor, the bullet impacted a vertebra upon entry, causing extensive internal damage. The trajectory involved shattering multiple vertebrae, reportedly reaching as far as C6, thereby explaining why there was no exit wound as the bullet’s energy was dissipated within the spinal column.
Harpole emphasized the visible and audible anguish displayed by Erika Kirk upon seeing her husband, asserting that her reaction was undeniably genuine. “I know what pain looks and sounds like,” Harpole stated, highlighting the emotional distress Erika exhibited. These statements aim to counter baseless allegations and conspiracy theories circulating online, some amplified by social media.
