Connection to September 10, 2025

Frank Turek was in the SUV with Kirk and was feet away on stage when the shooting occurred. He recounted the last moments in numerous interviews, memorials, and podcasts (Greg Laurie, Megyn Kelly, Cissie Graham Lynch).

He has emphasized evidence-based truth-seeking and condemned baseless accusations as causing "dissension."

As a close eyewitness who was feet away on stage, Turek's detailed account of the shooting and immediate response is highly valuable. His public statements addressing and countering conspiracy narratives could help clarify or address narrative issues in the investigation.
