Yeah I'm not sure he's dead yet, but the shot was pretty on point.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 87 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I looked around after hearing about it and several sources confirmed his death not long ago.

To steal a quote from that Scottish granny commenting on Thatcher’s death: they ought to put a string of garlic around his neck and a stake in his heart to make sure he doesn’t come back.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Has someone checked on Pitt the Elder to make sure he's still buried?

[–] tarknassus@lemmy.world 33 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Reuters reporting his death now. Suspect not yet apprehended.

Given the footage, it would be a miracle if he survived - that's a severe amount of blood loss within seconds.

It appears he was not loved by all.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 14 points 18 hours ago

Whelp, not enough prayers. Can't be helped.

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 21 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Wherever the shooter is I pray he is safe and well.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 10 points 11 hours ago

There was no shooter. The universe decided to throw a bullet at Charlie Kirk.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

It looked like a shot right in the jugular. Even if EMT's were sitting right next to him, it's incredibly unlikely to survive that.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

More likely the carotid artery since it sprayed.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Judging by the weird way his head lolled back I'm pretty sure it severed his spine too. Double whammy. Dude was dead before he knew what hit him.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

His arms went into something of a fencing response too. Body only does that when you are fucked in the nervous system. Usually for TBIs though so not sure if that's how it works for spinal dmg.

[–] tryagain@lemmy.ml 6 points 12 hours ago

Well...that's a pity.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Saw the video, pretty sure he is fucked. Quite a bit of blood spurting from the neck

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 6 points 19 hours ago

It's been confirmed within the last hour.
