Not much is known yet. Video appears to show Kirk being struck in the neck. As in all of these cases, it’s best to hold judgement until more is known. There’s this from the UK’s Guardian . . .
Charlie Kirk, the powerful rightwing activist, Trump ally and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), has been shot on Wednesday while hosting an event in Utah.
In video posts circulating on social media, Kirk can be seen getting struck while speaking and sitting beneath a tent in the Utah Valley University courtyard. Kirk was there as part of The American Comeback Tour, which is hosted by the TPUSA chapter at Utah Valley. There is also video footage of students on campus running away from the sound of gunshots.
The TPUSA press team confirmed to Fox News that Kirk had been shot, but that his condition was unknown.
UPDATE: The fears of those who’ve seen the video of the shooting have been realized. Kirk has reportedly died of his wounds after being shot at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University this afternoon. From Fox News . . .
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has died after being shot at an event on Wednesday afternoon at Utah Valley University.
President Donald Trump confirmed Kirk’s death in a post on Truth Social.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” Trump wrote. “He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”
I’ve seen the video and recommend against clicking ‘play’. It was a bad hit to the neck, lots of blood.
If you’re the praying sort, pray. He needs all the help he can get.
Yeah, I don’t feel the need to watch the graphic part of videos like that. On the radio earlier today, Clay was saying that everyone should watch the full video of that young girl getting stabbed in the neck. I can fully understand the threat without polluting my mind with those images. No thanks.
I agree with this 100%
I had a buddy text me a link of the shooting and I clicked on it, not knowing what it was going to be, and wish I hadn’t seen it. My son (8th grader) apparently saw it at football practice tonight and he too said he wished he hadn’t watched it.
Charlie Kirk was a good man and did not deserve what happened to him. He was a regular youtube watch for us.
“If you’re the praying sort, pray. He needs all the help he can get.”
The NYT just now is reporting Kirk has died.
And now comes the paybacks…
That’s what I’m thinking, too. Dominoes will begin to fall. Not going to be good.
– IHAQ
“Not going to be good.”
I won’t even entertain possible Leftist Scum ™, there are far too many to list…
The progressive left is a terrorist org. try to speak your mind and you will be murdered.
I recently saw a video of a woman advocating shooting anyone with a maga hat.
Treat the left like hamas.
It’s Democrat fragility. They can’t handle anyone with different worldviews, like say someone interested in the truth.
Moreso than career criminals, incels or trains the real threat is apparently lefitst Boomers.
Brainwashed since the 60s for this type of behavior…
MKUltra is a deep rabbitt hole…
Another left-winger liberal ‘ideology’ killer.
Kirk had just had a question posed to him by someone in the crowd about transgender people and shootings. That’s when he got shot.
The term the “usual suspects” can now mean LGBTQxyz or tranny or black street criminal. Or illegal alien.
It all depends on what the mainstream media, wants to avoid talking about.
I pray Charlie comes through this alive and well.
Never forget all the libertarians liberals and leftists who said nothing.
When congresswoman maxine waters publicly said that trump supporters should be confronted in restaurants. And made to feel uncomfortable. And not welcome.
If she had said this about the LGBTQxyz crowd. The three L’s would still be complaining years later.
And the left wing fake news media spin begins: MSNBC guest says ”hey, he might have been shot by an overly excited supporter … a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration’

“MSNBC Analyst Matthew Dowd Speculates Why Charlie Kirk Was Shot…”
And, his hate-filled ass was *fired* for that crack…
yeah, somebody was trying to shoot another person who was pointing a gun at kirk and missed.
not much yet. considering the event i imagined someone walking up close quarters with a handgun. but i’m hearing it was a 200yd shot. so of course, ~those~ rifles again- if only they were illegal.
“not much yet. ”
The New York Times is just now reporting he’s dead.
We are about to begin living in ‘interesting times’…
OK, things have changed…’officials’ now say the suspect is not in custody.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot on Wednesday at an event in Utah and has been confirmed dead at the age of 31. Multiple sources confirmed his passing to Just the News.

If we could just get Democrats and their voters to stop killing people we’d have a much more peaceful country.
Initially the report was the shooter was in custody. But then it changed to saying the shooter was not in custody. But that’s changed now and according to..
UPDATE, 6:27 p.m.: FBI Director Kash Patel reports that the shooter is in custody…
