Charlie Kirk’s Head of Security Debunks Conspiracy Theory

Brian Harpole refutes false claims of hand signals and other conspiracies following Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting at an open-air event, emphasizing security challenges and misinformation.

  • In a nearly three-hour Shawn Ryan Show episode posted Monday, Brian Harpole, head of security for Charlie Kirk, gave his first extended interview addressing the fatal shooting at Utah Valley University.
  • Widespread social-media analysis followed the September 10 shooting at Utah Valley University courtyard, and Brian Harpole said he was concerned the event was held outdoors but was told it needed to be there.
  • Harpole and Dan Flood jumped on Kirk to apply pressure as a tourniquet couldn't be used, then loaded him into a car for hospital transport using 36 feet of dressing.
  • Harpole rejected claims that his team used hand signals, saying, `If we needed to relay a message, then we'd *click* 'Hey, I hear on' comms&If I needed to get somebody's attention on the team, I'm not going to sit there and use a hand signal if he's in my line of sight` while staff have been doxxed amid the ongoing prosecution.
  • Investigators located the shot's origin on the Losee Center roof, autopsy findings revealed bullet fragmentation with no exit wound, and Dr. Frank Turek rejected viral accusations on X.
