Charlie Kirk's Security Team

EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk’s Security Team ‘Shorted’ Previous Firm for TPUSA Contract, Owner Says

Shaffer Security Group deleted its tweet hours later—but its owner, former FBI agent Greg Shaffer, reiterated the information when reached by phone Saturday night.

“The individuals who work for that company [Integrity Security Solutions] were the ones on the stage,” Shaffer told Headline USA.

Shaffer further said that Integrity Security Solutions founder Brian Harpole and TPUSA security director Dan Flood both used to work with him until they “stabbed [him] in the back.”

“Dan Flood headed up security for Turning Point USA, and Brian Harpole is his best friend. Brian worked for me for seven years, and then Brian started his own company and then shorted me on the contract for Turning Point USA,” Shaffer said. “That’s how they got the contract.”

When asked whether he had a falling out with Flood and Harpole, Shaffer said with a chuckle: “No, just got stabbed in the back by some friends.” Shaffer declined to comment further, other than to say he’s “100% confident that was the group that provided security [for Kirk] that day.”

TPUSA, including its security director Flood, and Integrity Security Solutions did not respond to numerous requests for comment, including about whether they still work for the conservative organization.

Integrity Security Solutions appears to have wiped much of its presence from the internet. Its apparent website links to Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn pages that have all been deleted.

Flood’s page on the TPUSA website is also no longer active. It was last archived on the Wayback Machine on July 21, meaning that the page was still on TPUSA’s main site until quite recently. Flood is still listed on TPUSA’s staff members page.

Integrity Security Solutions’ business formation records list the number of Eric Sardina, who describes himself as a “business and life coach.” The company’s records don’t state what Sardina’s position is, but he is clearly affiliated with Harpole. Sardina had Harpole on his podcast in June 2022 to discuss the latter’s career in law enforcement. Harpole was a police officer for 14 years, working in criminal and drug interdiction, a tactical unit, a bicycle unit and other roles during that time, according to the podcast’s show notes.

Meanwhile, questions still linger about why the rooftop allegedly used by assassination suspect Tyler Robinson as a sniper perch was unguarded. On Sept. 20, reporter Tayler Hansen published a video of him walking up a flight of steps to the rooftop, demonstrating how easy it was to gain access to the area.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said earlier this month that he doesn’t know why the roof was unguarded.

“It’s fairly easy for me to Monday morning quarterback anyone. I have done events with Charlie—quite a few—and I always found his security team to be very professional. I did a Turning Point event where I joked that they had better magnetometers than I saw at the Secret Service,” Bongino said on Megyn Kelly’s podcast.

“Why in this case was the roof uncovered? I can’t say. I think in the future, at political events, regardless of who’s speaking, I think there’s going to be a significant change in security posture going forward.”

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) In the wake of the Sept. 10 assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Utah Valley University Police Chief Jeff Long said he had six officers working the event, plus some plainclothes officers in the crowd.

However, the identity of Kirk’s private security team remained unreported until now. On Saturday, Shaffer Security Group, which worked Turning Point USA events from 2015 to 2022, posted on Twitter/X that the firm guarding Kirk on Sept. 10 was Rockhouse Integrity Group, which does business under the name Integrity Security Solutions.

Charlie Kirk’s Security Team was a massive failure and deserves an "F" rating for a list of shortcomings. Were they involved in his assassination? You make the call.

*Did not draw guns to protect Charlie;

*Acted as if there was only a single shot to be had.

*Immediately after the shot was fired, Kirk team member ran to the rear of the building, climbed up on a wall, recorded Charlie being carried to the truck.

*Suspicious activity near Charlie and in the rear.

Why was Charlie's security team smiling as they hovered over Charlie?

If you're on Charlie Kirk's security team and your principal just got shot, and you're on your knees tending to him, YOU ARE NOT SMILING.

There is no universe in which a security team member would be fucking SMILING seconds after watching your protectee getting shot in the head - NO FUCKING WAY.

There's TWO security team members SMILING.

Use your brain man, the only person who could possibly be smiling immed. following the kill shot would either be the assassin, or an assassin team member.

If your face was inches from Charlie Kirk bleeding to death and dying before your very eyes, I promise you no normal person would be smiling, period. Reality is a helluva drug.

Further, if Kirk's team WERE assassin team members, then what you're seeing them do on video is precisely what an assassin team member would be doing, hands down: selling nothingburgers.

I contend their job was to record the event from multiple angles, and that's what we're seeing on these videos.

The security team's job was to video the event. That's what the assassin group wanted.

That's why the security team members did what they did the way they did it.

Dan Flood seemed to be recording the event with his glasses.

That's why the video team member in the brown shirt immed. ran to the back area to climb up on a wall to video Charlie being carried to the truck.

IF these three knuckleheads were assassin team members, part of their duties may have been to make certain Charlie died where he fell.

Remember, assassin team planners may have considered the possibility that Charlie may not be mortally wounded from the lone, single, small-caliber shot.

Perhaps one of their duties was to evaluate whether or not he was actually dying; in case a team member determined that he was NOT mortally wounded.

What if an assassin team member determined that Charlie was NOT mortally wounded?

You make the call what they might have done.

There's no telling what they may have been doing to Charlie while he was on the ground.

In the back area video of the security team carrying Charlie to the truck, there was a woman standing only 4 or 5 feet from Charlie, yet she did not record Charlie but kept her cellphone trained towards the back area.

The assassin group always wants video of who was there and their victim.

Someone in a far away land may have been watching Charlie die LIVE via sunglasses.
