Excerpts from an article by Samuel Carter discussing the widespread online speculation following the assassination of political figure Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025. Specifically, the text explores the viral debate centered on video footage that allegedly shows no visible exit wound on Kirk's neck, which conspiracy theorists argue contradicts the official narrative of a high-powered rifle shot from a rooftop. Carter contrasts these viral claims with established forensic science, explaining that the absence of an exit wound in amateur video footage is not unusual due to factors like bullet fragmentation, bone impact, and the limitations of cell phone recordings. The author emphasizes that only the official autopsy report can resolve the questions about the fatal injury and trajectory, cautioning that relying on video speculation instead of forensic evidence risks undermining public trust in official accounts, citing historical parallels like the assassination of JFK.
