Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and Co-Founder of Turning Point USA, was shot today during an event at Utah Valley University. “Today at about 12:10 a shot was fired at the visiting speaker, Charlie Kirk,” the university said in a statement. “He was hit and taken from the location by his security. Campus police is investigating, a suspect is in custody.” Kirk’s condition remains unknown.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox took to X, stating he would “continue to share updates” and warning that “those responsible will be held fully accountable.” He added, “Violence has no place in our public life. Americans of every political persuasion must unite in condemning this act. Our prayers are with Charlie, his family, and all those affected.”
