    Did Charlie Kirk get shot twice?

      It bounced off of his body armor and got him in the neck.

        I’m near certain he was not wearing body armor, and if he was, it was definitely not level IV plate. That stuff is thick.

            I have, repeatedly. It’s not easy to conceal body armor under a T-shirt without it printing obviously.

      No just once in the neck. There was a single spent casing. and after seeing that first shot there wasn’t really a need for a follow up. The extra blood dot might indicate the blood that drenched his shirt

      Not as far as I know, but this does imply it!

      I think it’s the entrance and exit wounds. I can’t verify, but i heard he was shot in the chest and it exited the neck.

      Eta: I’m not trying to spread misinformation. It may be wrong, but its possible the comic artist heard the same thing.

        Factuality aside, it’s confusing and weird for a cartoon to depict it like this.

        That would make for a truly bizarre bullet trajectory

          You’ve obviously never seen Wanted. It explains all of this. Learn science, scrub.

          Bullets can do weird things after hitting bone. I doubt it did this, but I wouldn’t expect it to be a clean straight path either.

            Turns out it was a 30.06. I expect that to burn a straight hole through a human neck. Certainly does so through 3/8" steel! SOURCE: Done that.

              That is a heck of a round. I wouldn’t expect much deflection from it.
