Dan Flood — Head of Security
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Full Name | Dan Flood |
| Described role | Charlie Kirk's head of security / "security chief" |
| Status | Alive |
| Evidence Rating | MODERATE (SUV role corroborated in file; some claims unverified) |
Dan Flood is described in the investigation file and social posts as Charlie Kirk's head of security for the period surrounding the September 10, 2025 UVU event. This page documents attributed claims about his role. We do not assert Flood knew of any attack in advance or acted with criminal intent.
SUV immediate response team
According to the master file witness list, Flood was one of five people in the SUV with Kirk immediately after the shooting:
| SUV occupant | Reported role |
|---|---|
| Dan Flood | TPUSA security director; shielded Kirk with Harpole |
| Brian Harpole | Security chief; heard "two distinct sounds" |
| Rick Cutler | Private security; held Harpole's shirt during transport |
| Justin Davis | Emergency driver |
| Frank Turek | Kirk mentor |
Flood reportedly jumped on Kirk to shield him from further harm per Brian Harpole's public accounts. See Rick Cutler POI for separate "arm puller" theories — we do not merge unverified accusations here.
Appearance claims (unverified)
Crowd posts describe Flood wearing Ray-Ban glasses (said to record video) and a dark blue button-up shirt. These are crowd-sourced descriptions, not confirmed by official roster releases.
Charlie's death-threat messages to Flood
The investigation file records Candace Owens reporting that Charlie Kirk sent messages via Signal and Telegram (not iMessage) to close contacts including Flood the night before the event:
- Charlie reportedly told donors, TPUSA members, and Flood he thought he would be "executed tomorrow." (KM-10)
- A related thread references Erika Kirk and a message that "The Left will kill me." (KM-11)
These are reported statements about Charlie's fears, not evidence about Flood's conduct. Frank Turek has also publicly stated Charlie told him he believed "they're going to take me out."
Cattle Barons Ball — open question (not allegation)
An anonymous post described as a childhood friend of Flood claimed the last time they saw him, he was "running security for some Dallas billionaires at the Cattle Barons Ball" — a Texas charity gala drawing wealthy donors.
The post raises, strictly as a question, whether client conflicts could exist. No conflict of interest has been established. We document the question because it circulated publicly; we do not accuse Flood of divided loyalties.
Next event — no security plan claim
The same commentary thread links Flood to claims that his team had no security plan for Therese Bible College on September 11 — the day after the assassination. That claim is unverified and documented on the dedicated page.
Prior vendor work (heavily attributed)
Some X posts allege Flood previously worked for Shaffer Security or Echelon with Israel-related networking claims and even "commence firing" hand signals. Those are unverified social-media allegations with serious defamation risk. They are not stated as fact on this page. If readers encounter them elsewhere, treat them as uncorroborated commentary unless sworn testimony or documents emerge.
Defense-witness commentary
Investigation-file commentary argues Tyler Robinson's defense should call Flood for SUV timeline testimony. That is opinion, not a court filing.
Citizen Investigator Claims on X
:::caution Legal Disclaimer Nothing on this page constitutes a finding of wrongdoing by any named security professional. Allegations from public commentary are unproven. :::
- Brian Harpole (ISS / contracted security leadership in public discussion) is central to “two sounds,” rooftop-text, and Fort Huachuca threads; he has pursued defamation claims against Candace Owens and Mitchell Snow over Huachuca allegations (reported Apr 2026).
- Competing posts cite travel receipts placing Harpole in the Dallas area during parts of Sept 8–9; community notes note residual morning-window ambiguity — not a site finding either way.
- Other security names on this site (Dan Flood, Bobby Harpole, Greg Shaffer, etc.) appear in SUV-response, Signal, and chain-of-command discussions; intentional enabling of a killing is not established and must not be stated as fact.
- Page focus: Dan Flood — Head of Security. See Security Team for structure.
Best understanding of when he said this
Best understanding: night of SEPT 9 text to Dan Flood (executed/kill tomorrow). Peak late SEPT 9 slots.
Date range (working model): Domain: SEPT 8–10 2025 · 6 bars/day · Peak night SEPT 9 after donor call
The chart below is not a government finding. Bar height is relative likelihood from public claims (X posts, interviews, investigation indexes, master-file notes). Domain is trimmed to where likelihood is non-trivial — no multi-week empty stretch.

Interesting
- A since-deleted firm post said another company wanted to stay in the shadows.
- Charred debris from the scene is matched against a beltpack transmitter, antenna base and all.
- A .30-06 delivers about 3,950 joules — the described injury looks nothing like it.
