Dan Flood — Head of Security
Dan Flood is described in social-media posts as Charlie Kirk's head of security, or "security chief," for the period surrounding the September 10, 2025 event at Utah Valley University. The descriptions below come from online posts and are presented as reported claims and open questions, not findings of fact.

What posts say about his role
Posts circulating after the assassination describe Flood as the person running Charlie Kirk's security. One account also described him as wearing Ray-Ban glasses said to record video and a dark blue button-up shirt on the day.
These descriptions are crowd-sourced and unverified. They are repeated here only to document the claims in circulation, not to assert any of them as established.
A question raised about prior clients
A person described as a childhood friend of Flood reportedly said that the last time he saw Flood, Flood "was running security for some Dallas billionaires at the Cattle Barons Ball," a Texas charity gala that draws wealthy donors. The post asks who those clients were and raises, strictly as a question, whether there could have been any conflict of interest.
This is framed here exactly as it was framed in the post: as an open question from an anonymous account, not an allegation of wrongdoing. No conflict of interest has been established, and nothing here should be read as accusing Flood of anything.
The claim about the next event
The same posts claim that Flood's team had no security plan for Charlie Kirk's next scheduled event, described as Therese Bible College on September 11, the day after the assassination. This is attributed as a claim made online and has not been independently confirmed.
If accurate, the point critics raise is one of preparedness rather than intent. It is presented here as an unverified claim for the reader to weigh.
