@HeadlineUSA (Headline USA) is a news outlet account cited in the Security Team section for reporting that identified which private firm was guarding Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025. Its reporting is a media interview claim about a business dispute — not proof of criminal intent by anyone named.
Claims from X posts
- September 28, 2025 — reported that a since-deleted post from Shaffer Security Group identified Integrity Security Solutions (Rockhouse Integrity Group LLC, founded by Brian Harpole) as the firm allegedly guarding Kirk when he was killed — see Integrity Security.
- The "stabbed in the back" account — SSG founder Greg Shaffer told the outlet he was "stabbed in the back" over how Integrity came to the detail, after SSG had guarded earlier tour stops. The site records this as a vendor-transition / business-dispute narrative, documented on the Security Team overview alongside AP reporting that the firm was rehired at the last minute with a setup lighter than Kirk's prior events.
Investigative value
The report matters because the identity of the contracted security firm anchors every downstream question — rooftop responsibility, staffing levels, bodycam absence, and the SUV evacuation roster. It is one of the few named-source media artifacts in the private-security thread; the deleted SSG post it describes has not been independently archived here.
