Two Audio Peaks 0.07 Seconds Apart

What This Image Shows

A composite screenshot: on the left, an enlarged audio-editing window showing a stereo waveform with several sharp transient peaks across a timeline marked from 0.00 to 0.35 seconds, on a track titled Adam Bartholomew crackthump Audio offset; on the right, the post it was attached to.

The post is from John Cullen, @I_Am_JohnCullen, timestamped 4:16 AM on September 20 with 205.9K views. It reads: did you know that two shots were fired at the Charlie Kirk shooting, within .07 seconds of each other, true story, microphones don't lie — followed by a jab at the FBI director. A reply from the same account asks whether the platform's AI assistant sees two peaks separated by 0.07 seconds, yes or no.

The two-event claim is one of the most consequential in the whole investigation, because the state's case rests on a single shot. Two transients 0.07 seconds apart can also be produced by one shot arriving directly and again as a reflection off a nearby building face, which is the standard objection and one that the geometry of a walled plaza makes plausible. Cullen's position and the counterarguments are set out at Acoustic Two-Event Split and Witness Audio Conflicts.
