🚨 BREAKING: I found four documented cases involving .30-06 rounds whose bullets failed to exit, including Charlie Kirk’s case. A fifth case involved a 7.62×54R round, a ballistically similar cartridge, whose bullet also failed to exit. On March 20, 2008, Berry Hall shot his neighbor, Lisa Tackett, with a... .30-06 from an upstairs bedroom window. The bullet entered her left breast, traveled through her organs and torso, lodged in her right chest wall without exiting, and was removed during autopsy. The court record does not indicate that it struck bone, unlike the soft-point bullet that killed Charlie and reportedly “obliterated” his C2–C7 vertebrae before lodging in his body. The case is documented in the Kentucky Supreme Court’s 2015 and 2022 opinions in Hall v. Commonwealth. Bret Weinstein, Candace Owens, Ian Carroll, Jimmy Dore and other Tyler Robinson defenders claim Charlie’s wound was from a “magic bullet,” citing an unsourced “1 in 100 to 1 in 10,000” figure without identifying a study, dataset, or denominator. How can five documented non-exit cases involving these similar cartridges exist if this supposedly occurs only once in every 100 to 10,000 cases? Were all five bullets “magic bullets”? Four more examples below.show more

2/ On May 28, 2007, Michael “Shane” Hill was shot and killed on an Iowa sheep farm by a .30-06 bullet that failed to exit. The suspects had obtained a .30-06 rifle and two boxes of ammunition shortly beforehand. The Iowa Court of Appeals reported that their fingerprints were found on the ammunition box. One suspect’s DNA was found on the rifle’s sling, and a witness identified him carrying the rifle across the farm. Ballistics testing linked the bullet recovered from Hill’s body to that rifle. The case was later featured in the Discovery documentary “Murder Calls: Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.” This is another documented homicide in which a .30-06 bullet failed to exit the victim’s body.

3/ In November 2011, Jason Lindley was accidentally shot in the back with a .30-06 from approximately 50 yards while deer hunting in Alaska. The bullet broke a rib, damaged his kidney, and remained lodged inside his body. It did not pass through or exit. The Coast Guard rescued him by helicopter, and he was later flown to Seattle for treatment. The incident was documented on video and in contemporaneous reports. Again, a high-velocity .30-06 bullet entered a human body from roughly 50 yards and failed to exit.

4/ Chuck Ritter is a retired Green Beret and Silver Star recipient who was shot three times in 2013 with 7.62×54R rounds, a cartridge ballistically similar to the .30-06. One round entered his upper back, traveled down his spine, lodged near L4, and did not exit. Ritter said: “I have shot people in the same area as CK was shot and the bullet lodged in the body, and I have seen other people get shot in the same area with the bullet lodging in the body.” “I’ve seen plenty of people get shot in the neck and the bullet end up in the body somewhere.” “Bullets don’t always cause exit wounds, even with relatively large rounds.” This is firsthand testimony from a decorated Green Beret who survived a high-velocity rifle wound that lodged inside his body, personally shot people in the same area, and witnessed similar high-velocity rifle wounds that did not exit.

5/ Charlie Kirk was shot with a .30-06, and the bullet did not exit. Although the full autopsy has not been released, the medical examiner documented that the projectile: “Obliterated the left side of the C2-C7 vertebrae and transected the cervical spinal cord.” A significant portion of Kirk’s cervical spinal cord was “traumatically absent.” The X-rays below are not Charlie Kirk’s. They illustrate a “lead snowstorm,” which can occur when a high-velocity rifle bullet strikes bone and fragments, sending metal and bone fragments through surrounding tissue as secondary projectiles. This may help explain the extensive injuries described in the excerpt, including the reported destruction of the cervical spine and airway, along with bleeding in the brain, the lungs, and around the heart. The Remington Core-Lokt soft-point round prosecutors say Robinson used is designed to expand on impact. After striking bone, it can deform, fragment, shed energy, and lodge inside the body rather than exit. The complete autopsy is still needed to determine precisely how each injury occurred.

6/ Joseph Scott Morgan spent his career as a medicolegal death investigator and says he worked on somewhere near 7,000 cases, including gunshot wounds from nearly every high-velocity platform: .308, 7.62, 5.56, .300 Win Mag, and .300 Blackout. He says it is entirely possible that Charlie Kirk was shot with a .30-06 from 140 yards and that the bullet did not exit. A Remington Core-Lokt soft point is designed to expand on impact. Unlike an FMJ, it's designed to shed energy and fragment after striking bone, making an exit wound less likely. @BretWeinstein, @RealCandaceO, @IanCarrollShow, @jimmy_dore and other Tyler Robinson defenders may call Charlie’s wound a “magic bullet.” But Joseph Scott Morgan, a medicolegal death investigator whose worked 7,000 cases, says a .30-06 not creating an exit wound on Charlie Kirk is entirely possible.

7/ We have a medicolegal death investigator who says he worked on roughly 7,000 cases and considers it entirely possible for a .30-06 fired from 140 yards to fail to exit Charlie Kirk’s body, especially given the report that the soft-point bullet obliterated six cervical vertebrae. We have four reported .30-06 cases in which the bullet failed to exit, including one documented in a Kentucky Supreme Court opinion, another in an Iowa Court of Appeals opinion, and Charlie Kirk’s case in Utah court records. We also have a decorated Green Beret who was shot four times across two incidents with 7.62×54R, a ballistically similar cartridge. One of those bullets also failed to exit. He has shot people in the same part of the body, witnessed other high-velocity rifle wounds lodge inside the body, and survived a round that entered his upper back, traveled down his spine, lodged near L4, and never exited. Five relevant, documented cases. Together, they establish the point that matters: a .30-06, or a ballistically similar high-velocity rifle round, can stop inside the body without exiting. It's not a “magic bullet,” nor is it “impossible.” The other four cases involved shots fired from much shorter distances than Charlie’s 140-yard shot, so those rounds generally would have retained more velocity at impact. Yet Bret Weinstein, Candace Owens, Ian Carroll, Jimmy Dore, and other Tyler Robinson defenders present an unsourced “1 in 100 to 1 in 10,000” figure as fact. That unsupported figure is then invoked to support increasingly illogical theories about Charlie’s murder involving Erika Kirk, Charlie’s friends, TPUSA, Egyptian aircraft, Brigitte Macron, exploding microphones, and Israeli drones launched from U.S. military jets. What study produced that figure? What ammunition did it analyze? What cases made up its denominator? Did it account for soft-point ammunition, the reported destruction of six cervical vertebrae, or the possibility of fragmentation and energy loss inside the body? When someone calls Charlie’s wound a “magic bullet,” ask whether the bullets that struck Lisa Tackett, Michael “Shane” Hill, Jason Lindley, and Chuck Ritter were magic bullets too. Then ask Bret, Candace, Ian, Jimmy, or anyone else repeating the claim to identify the study behind the “1 in 100 to 1 in 10,000” figure. If the number is real, they should be able to show the study. If they can't, it's made-up speculation masquerading as mathematical logic. And it's being used to dismiss the evidence against Tyler Robinson and justify increasingly illogical theories while generating millions of views and revenue for the people promoting them.

They will ignore this great post.

Doesn’t matter @RealCandaceO and her cult of crazies will still claim it’s impossible, because you know, Candace saw a video on You Tube.

I personally shot a small buck with a 30 .06 Core Lokt, broadside in the neck. The bullet hit the spine, took a 90° turn and rode the spine into the thoracic cavity. No exit and a small entry. About 7 of the vertebrae were pulverized.

It happens

Every deer I ever shot with a 30-06 had a exit wound. Remington model 6 pump bad ass gun never missed a deer with it. Every deer I shot with my 270 ran with an exit wound Remington 700 model BDL some bitch will give you a bloody lip meet your eyes water too

Here's a thread documenting dozens of deer shot with a .30-06 with no exit wound

I miss back when you were great, Kanekoa.

Thank you for all your time and work on this analysis @KanekoaTheGreat

Add a sixth, MLK assassination

I don't count that one because it exited and re-entered

🤯 so it blew the jaw apart, deflected, exit only to re-enter the base of the neck, just above the right collarbone ripping up the major arteries, ribs, and blew the final cord apart lodging under the skin. I think the deflection part is what really matters because it's relevant to understand Charlie's injuries. Total path was 8 inches with 1 inch exit path.

Anything is possible. I had a 54r that would obliterate stuff though.

This is the part the “magic bullet” crowd skips.... They throw around “1 in 100 to 1 in 10,000” like it’s scripture. No study. No dataset. No denominator. Just a vibe with a hashtag. Kanekoa put real paper on the table. Hall v. Commonwealth — Kentucky Supreme Court. March 20, 2008. Berry Hall shoots Lisa Tackett from an upstairs window with a .30-06. Bullet enters the left breast, traverses the torso, lodges in the right chest wall. Removed at autopsy. Court opinions in 2015 and 2022. Not a meme. Not a Telegram rumor. That’s one documented non-exit on a hunting-caliber round in an American appellate record. He’s stacking four more .30-06 cases plus a ballistically similar 7.62×54R that also failed to exit. So either five “magic bullets” happened… or the unsourced odds were never real. Charlie Kirk’s wound was catastrophic. Soft-point on C2–C7 is not a parlor trick that’s what hunting rounds do to bone and tissue. Non-exit doesn’t make it paranormal. It makes it a soft-point that dumped energy and stopped. If you’re going to defend Tyler Robinson with probability cosplay, bring a citation.....

Are you still hung up on this…they don’t even have a murder weapon…🤦🏻‍♂️

What?

Sellout.

This isn't at all required. The Candyland smoothbrains have lowered the bar to such an extent that the fact that a 30-06 round anywhere and at anytime did not create an exit hole proves them wrong. By their own logic.

Look, bullets do weird things. Anybody who claims to be a gun expert and tells you something else is lying about the being a gun expert part.
