Overview

• Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said a treating surgeon told him the bullet that killed Kirk should have exited but did not, and he relayed that the coroner found it lodged just beneath the skin.
• Kolvet attributed the outcome to what the surgeon described as unusually strong bone density, characterizing the lack of an exit wound as a “miracle” that may have prevented injuries to people standing behind Kirk.
• At a large memorial at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, author Frank Turek recounted being near Kirk when the shot was fired and said doctors later told him Kirk died instantly and felt no pain.
• Police previously arrested Tyler Robinson, 22, in connection with the Utah campus shooting, and he remains jailed on a murder charge according to recent reports.
• Kirk’s widow, Erika, was named CEO and chair of Turning Point USA, and she has said a sheriff told her the round was fired from a vintage German-made Mauser and devastated Kirk’s neck.
