But he said this instance warranted clarification due to public concern.
Kolvet said he spoke directly with Kirk’s surgeon at the hospital.
The doctor said the bullet “absolutely should have gone through.”
He explained such rounds normally penetrate everything in their path.
Kolvet said the doctor compared the caliber to one that could fell elk or moose.
A Medical Miracle
According to the surgeon, Kirk’s bone density stopped the bullet.
Kolvet quoted him as saying Kirk was “like the man of steel.”
The round lodged beneath the skin instead of exiting the body.
The surgeon told Kolvet it was a “miracle” others were not killed.
Kolvet noted dozens of staff and students stood directly behind Kirk.
He said the lack of an exit wound likely saved their lives.
The coroner later recovered the bullet just under Kirk’s skin.
Kolvet’s Perspective
Kolvet described the incident as “remarkable” and “miraculous.”
He said even in death, Kirk saved others by stopping the round.
He urged supporters to reject false narratives about the shooting.
Kolvet emphasized that medical facts support the FBI’s account.
He framed the absence of an exit wound as evidence of Kirk’s strength.
He said Kirk’s sacrifice was part of his enduring legacy.
Kolvet added that the detail should inspire gratitude, not suspicion.
Broader Context
Kolvet has also responded to rumors about SD cards at the scene.
He said staff secured the cards and later turned them over to the FBI.
