Blake Haruff

Disclaimer: Inclusion on this page does not imply that this individual had knowledge of, participated in, or committed any illegal or immoral act. This page documents their publicly known connection to the events of September 10, 2025 for investigative reference only.

Blake Haruff — widely nicknamed "Gibby" in event footage threads — is identified in public commentary and reporting as a close-proximity security figure who reportedly helped carry Charlie Kirk after the September 10, 2025 shooting. Analyses of courtyard video note significant blood visible on his clothing during the response, placing him among the responders with the most direct physical contact with Kirk in the first minutes. Haruff is a key member of the carry team with Alex Faria and Laine Schoenberg, distinct from but adjacent to the SUV core led by Brian Harpole.

Background​

Haruff appears in public witness listings under "other security in close proximity" for the UVU event. Public commentary cross-references crowd descriptions of a "light blue plaid shirt" figure as a possible visual match for "Blake Harruff" — a spelling variant seen in some posts, not an official name confirmation.

Unlike Pierce Beck (Shaffer Security Group alumni) or the Integrity Security principals, Haruff's pre-event biography is sparsely documented in mainstream sources. His public profile is built from footage-visible actions and roster placement.

Connection to September 10, 2025​

According to public reporting and citizen commentary on security threads:

  • Haruff helped carry Kirk from the stage/courtyard area immediately after the ~12:23 PM shot.
  • Significant blood was visible on him during the response, as documented in event footage and X posts — consistent with direct wound contact during the carry.
  • He appears in chaos-aftermath footage analyses mapping personnel movement from stage toward the black SUV.
  • Public commentary treats "Blake (aka Gibby)" as likely referring to Blake Haruff when cross-referencing blood-visible carry figures.
  • He is listed among witnesses defense commentary argues should testify for a complete timeline — legal opinion, not an accusation.

X.com / Citizen Commentary (Attributed)​

Per public posts and footage breakdowns discussed online:

  • "Gibby" / blood-visible carry: Haruff named with Faria and Schoenberg as carry-team members; blood on clothing highlighted in citizen frame-by-frame posts.
  • Plaid-shirt identification: Some threads label a light-blue-plaid responder as Haruff — crowd-sourced visual ID, unverified against an official roster.
  • Distinction from Brian Harpole: Commentary stress Blake Haruff is not Brian Harpole (security chief, SUV occupant) despite shared surname confusion in early posts.
  • Forensic preservation questions: Threads ask whether blood on Haruff's clothing was sampled or tested — listed as a potential future disclosure under Fix overview laws. No claim he obstructed investigation.
  • Lower conspiracy targeting than SUV crew: Haruff appears more in witness-reconstruction discourse than in shaped-charge or Pero-device threads focused on Rick Cutler.

Investigative Questions​

  • What was Haruff's security assignment and staging position before Kirk was shot?
  • What is his account of the carry sequence and of the moment the SUV team took over?
  • Does official documentation confirm "Gibby" as Haruff versus other Blake-named personnel on site?
  • Was blood/DNA from his clothing preserved in the criminal case file?
  • How does his testimony correlate with Faria, Schoenberg, and SUV occupants' timelines?

Laws (Charlie Kirk)​

  • Haruff's FBI Form 302 interview report and untested blood and DNA from the response and removed hospital and UVU camera footage are things that the Charlie Kirk Investigation Laws may result in powerful truths coming out that aren't out yet.
