(NewsNation) — The high-velocity bullet that claimed the life of Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10 miraculously did not exit the conservative activist and harm others at the crowded event where Kirk was assassinated, the executive producer of “The Charlie Kirk Show” said Saturday.

Kirk died when a sniper fired a single round from 200 yards away on the campus of Utah Valley University and struck him in the neck.

Andrew Kolvet, who produced Kirk’s popular podcast, suggested the bullet’s failure to injure or kill others who were behind Kirk is cause for celebration. He said the surgeon who tried to save Kirk at the hospital expressed surprise the bullet went no farther.

“It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too,” Kolvet said the physician told him. The anecdote was shared on the social media platform X.

Kolvet, who serves as spokesman for Kirk’s Turning Point USA, said the coroner found the bullet “just beneath the skin.”

“Even in death, Charlie managed to save the lives of those around him. Remarkable. Miraculous,” he said.

Kolvet said he had permission to share the information Saturday, the eve of Kirk’s memorial service in Phoenix.
