Charlie Kirk, the super-influential conservative commentator and top Trump ally and close friend, was shot in the neck at an event for Turning Point USA, the conservative organization he founded and runs, at Utah Valley University.
Warning: The video is graphic.
A spokesperson for Turning Point USA confirmed that Kirk had been shot. The Associated Press, citing a law enforcement source, says that Kirk is in “critical condition.”
Previously, it had been reported that a suspect was in custody, but a spokesman for Utah Valley University says the suspect remains at large.
The university says that they believe the person who shot Kirk did so from a building 200 yards away (two football fields), which is an extraordinarily long distance.
