Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot during a Q\&A session at Utah Valley University. The attack unfolded as he responded to a question on mass shootings, his final words cut short by a gunshot that struck him in the neck.
Witnesses described chaos as students screamed, ducked for cover, and scrambled for exits. Video captured Kirk collapsing mid-sentence beneath a tent reading “The American Comeback.” Blood pooled on the ground as security rushed forward, unable to prevent the tragedy.
Initial confusion followed when police detained an elderly man shouting about his rights, but authorities later confirmed he was not the shooter.
