Conservative media personality Charlie Kirk has allegedly been shot during a debate in Utah.
“What we know currently is that Charlie Kirk was about 20 minutes into his presentation when we heard shots fired from a nearby building and to the best of our knowledge he was hit and taken with his security team away from the premises, and the courtyard was cleared,” a spokesperson for Utah Valley University told CNBC. He was at the Orem, Utah-based University debating, reports suggest.
Police also confirmed there were shots fired, and reports suggest he was the only person shot.
There is an extremely graphic video circulating social media that showcases him seemingly being shot and grabbing at his neck area.
He often goes to colleges with his Turning Point USA to debate students. Turning Point USA’s “mission is to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government.”
We will update when we know more.
