Conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk has been confirmed dead after being shot during a live event at Utah Valley University. Shocking video shows Kirk clutching his neck before collapsing, as the crowd fled in panic.
Authorities say the shot was fired from a nearby rooftop. A suspect is now in custody, though no name has been released.
Political figures — including Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel — have spoken out, calling the killing a “tragic act of political violence” and expressing their condolences and prayers.
