A shocking video has surfaced showing the aftermath of a shooting incident involving conservative political activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. In the video, multiple individuals can be seen rushing to assist Kirk and quickly transport him into an SUV while police officers work to control the panicked crowd.
The chaotic scene captured in the video shows the immediate aftermath of the shooting, with people fleeing in fear and confusion. The footage was filmed by Jeremy King, a nearby resident who was attending the American Comeback Tour event with his wife. King described being in close proximity to Kirk when the tragic incident unfolded.
Authorities have confirmed that Kirk sustained a single gunshot wound to the neck and tragically passed away as a result of his injuries. At just 31 years old, Kirk was a well-known figure in conservative activism and was speaking at a student-organized event affiliated with Turning Point USA when the shooting occurred.
As of the latest reports, the perpetrator responsible for Kirk’s death remains at large. While two individuals were briefly detained for questioning, they were subsequently released after it was determined that they were not linked to the shooting. Law enforcement officials believe that the shooter fired from a nearby building down onto the area where Kirk was addressing the audience in the student courtyard.
Approximately 3,000 individuals were in attendance at the event, which had security personnel from Utah Valley University and Kirk’s own security team on-site. The shooting took place as Kirk was engaging with students and fielding questions on the topic of mass shootings and gun violence.
In response to the tragic incident, the FBI has established a digital tip line to encourage anyone with information regarding the shooting or the suspect to come forward. The community is urged to assist law enforcement in their efforts to identify and apprehend the individual responsible for this senseless act of violence.
