🚨EXCLUSIVE: I found a sixth and seventh documented example of a .30-06 hitting a person and failing to exit.
Both were military FMJ rounds fired from M1 Garands at Kent State.
One is especially relevant to Charlie Kirk’s wound: the bullet struck the spine, shattered three vertebrae, T9–T11, fragmented, permanently paralyzed him, and remained in the victim’s body.
Dean Kahler was shot in the back from roughly 100 yards.
Decades later, Kahler said:
“And the bullet is still in me, I have shrapnel all through my body.”
The second victim, Allison Krause, was struck by a .30-06 FMJ M1 Garand round that passed through her upper arm, entered her torso, fragmented, and failed to exit.
Her pathologist recovered bullet fragments and turned them over to the FBI.
Kahler’s case is especially relevant to Charlie Kirk:
• .30-06 FMJ
• ~100 yards
• Direct spinal impact
• Three shattered vertebrae
• Fragmentation
• No exit
FMJ generally penetrates more deeply than expanding soft-point ammunition.
The Remington Core-Lokt soft point used to kill Charlie was designed to expand on impact.
It is more likely to fragment and stay in a body than the FMJ that did not exit Dean Kahler's body.
Yet critics claim it was nearly impossible for Charlie’s bullet to strike his cervical spine, fragment, and stay in his body.
Dean Kahler shows otherwise.
Five more examples below, plus dozens of deer shot with .30-06 rounds that failed to exit, and a chief medical examiner saying Charlie’s gunshot wound is not “unusual.” 👇
