This would have taken a moose or two down, an elk, etc.\u2019 But it didn\u2019t go through. Charlie\u2019s body stopped it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When Kolvet told the doctor that Kirk did not have an exit wound, he proclaimed, \u201cIt was an absolute miracle that someone else didn\u2019t get killed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201c\u2018His bone was so healthy and the density was so, so impressive that he\u2019s like the man of steel. It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too,\u2019\u201d Kolvet recalled of the doctor\u2019s remarks. \u201cIn the end, the coroner did find the bullet just beneath the skin.
