Charlie Kirk was set to start his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The conservative commentator, host, and founder of Turning Point USA was hosting his hallmark Q&A event when a single shot was fired, striking him in the neck. The video is graphic. Kirk was answering a question about transgender shooters when he was shot.
He was rushed to the local hospital in critical condition. Tragically, Kirk did not survive.
At 31 years old, Charlie Kirk has passed away after being shot at a campus event in Utah.
