CONSPIRACY THEORY: No, Charlie Kirk Was Not Shot With a .380 ACP ‘Cell Phone Gun.’
As this conspiracy theory goes, the guy in the white hat and white polo behind and to Kirk’s right is not, in fact, clearly holding an obvious cell phone — much like hundreds of people in the audience were — but was, instead, holding an IC380 pistol.

They’re convinced that the copious amounts of blood seen in the videos comes from an exit wound caused by a 380 ACP round fired by the man in white.
No. That’s not what happened. Here’s the deal . . .
