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.
Dan Flood is described in the investigation file and public reporting as TPUSA's Head of Security — the senior security director assigned to protect Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. He was one of five occupants in the black SUV that rushed Kirk to Timpanogos Regional Hospital and, according to Brian Harpole's public accounts, physically shielded Kirk's body immediately after the shot. Flood also appears in pre-event death-threat message threads as a named recipient on Signal and Telegram. Investigators treat him as a core timeline witness for everything that happened inside the SUV and in security planning before the event.
Flood was within arm's reach at the instant Charlie Kirk was killed, which makes his account central to the explosive-device analysis.
Background
Flood is identified in research notes and Security Team documentation as Charlie Kirk's security director, working under the hybrid model that combined TPUSA private close protection with UVU campus police for perimeter duties on September 10, 2025. Crowd-sourced footage descriptions (not official roster releases) characterize him in a dark blue button-up shirt and Ray-Ban-style glasses, with some threads speculating the glasses recorded video — an unverified equipment claim.
He is listed alongside Brian Harpole (Integrity Security Solutions / Rockhouse Integrity), Rick Cutler, Justin Davis, and Frank Turek as the SUV immediate-response team. See Dan Flood — Head of Security for the parallel Security Team profile.
Connection to September 10, 2025
According to Brian Harpole's interviews (Shawn Ryan Show, Salt Lake Tribune) and the master witness list in the investigation file:
- Flood was in the SUV with Kirk when the shooting occurred and during the emergency transport to Timpanogos Regional Hospital (~2.6 miles from UVU).
- He reportedly jumped on top of Kirk alongside Harpole to shield him from further harm immediately after the shot.
- As TPUSA Security Director, he would have held responsibility for coordinating the private security posture with campus law enforcement — a lighter hybrid setup than prior Kirk events, with no bodycams documented that day per the investigation file.
- Candace Owens has reportedly displayed texts in which Charlie Kirk told donors, TPUSA members, and Flood he feared he would be "executed tomorrow" (KM-10) the night before September 10. The file also records Signal/Telegram recipients including Andrew Kolvet, with a related thread referencing Erika Kirk and a message that "The Left will kill me" (KM-11) — presented as reported commentary, not independently verified.
- Commentary threads distinguish Flood from misidentified figures in early X posts (bald man, plaid shirt, square-glasses man) — attributing those mis-IDs to crowd confusion, not to Flood's confirmed appearance.
X.com / Citizen Commentary (Attributed)
Per posts compiled in the People grok fan-out (Query 5) and the investigation file:
- @CandaceOwens: Flood received death-threat messages alongside Kolvet; "executed tomorrow" (KM-10) recipient; Cattle Barons Ball Dallas billionaires moonlighting thread (childhood-friend post); Ray-Ban glasses recording claim; in-SUV shielding role; not the misidentified bald/plaid/square-glasses figures.
- Cattle Barons Ball thread: An anonymous post described as a childhood friend claimed the last time they saw Flood, he was "running security for some Dallas billionaires at the Cattle Barons Ball" — a Texas charity gala. The same commentary links Flood to claims his team had no security plan for Kirk's next scheduled stop (Therese Bible College, September 11). These raise open questions about scheduling and client load; no conflict of interest has been established.
- June 2026 SUV interior photos: Owens reportedly surfaced SUV interior images that other researchers tied to Mic — Exploding Mic Theory shaped-charge debris hypotheses. Flood is named in seating-diagram threads but the site does not assert any criminal act by named SUV occupants.
Investigative Questions
- What did Flood observe inside the SUV regarding Kirk's condition, sounds heard, and decisions made during transport?
- What pre-event security planning did TPUSA coordinate with UVU Police Chief Jeff Long — and what did Flood know about rooftop sweep failures Harpole later criticized publicly?
- What is the full content of Charlie's Signal/Telegram messages to Flood the night before the event?
- Did Flood have other security clients (e.g., Cattle Barons Ball commentary) that affected staffing or planning for September 10–11? No allegation of wrongdoing — question only.
- Will Flood's FBI Form 302 (if released under investigation laws) corroborate or revise public SUV timeline accounts?

Citizen Investigator Claims and Public Commentary
(The following are attributed claims and file notes — not findings of criminal guilt.)
Security Director / Threat-Text Recipient (Attributed)
Flood is widely described as TPUSA security director, SUV occupant, and shield of Kirk after the shot. Candace Owens coverage attributes threat-text routing through Flood (including variants mentioning Erika/Left). Flood's knowledge of pre-event threat traffic and security plan is a high-value documentary topic for investigators — not a basis to claim he enabled the killing.
No court has found Flood guilty of any crime related to the assassination.

Laws (Charlie Kirk)
- Flood's FBI 302 interview report and the pre-event security-planning records with UVU police and his account of Kirk's condition inside the SUV are things that the Charlie Kirk Investigation Laws may result in powerful truths coming out that aren't out yet.
Interesting In This Area
- Frank Turek and Justin Davis are listed in the same SUV response.
- Andrew Kolvet reportedly received the parallel Signal message that night.
- Candace Owens is the source for the executed-tomorrow text reaching him.
- Jeff Long led the campus police side of that hybrid arrangement.
Interesting In Other Areas
- The security team profile covers the planning posture rather than the aftermath.
- SUV interior photographs are argued over frame by frame.
- TPUSA had no security plan for the next day either.
- The executed-tomorrow message is reproduced with its sourcing.
