Charlie Kirk was kicking off his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley University, where an unknown shooter shot him as he was answering a question about transgender shooters. The footage is ghastly. The conservative commentator, activist, host, and operative was struck in the neck and rushed to the hospital in critical condition. The image of an elderly gentleman that initial reports pegged as the shooter is not accurate. We don’t know who the suspect is; he’s at large.
