Shots were fired at an event hosted by Charlie Kirk, a conservative commentator and founder of the youth activist group Turning Point USA, at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
A video posted online of the event shows Kirk speaking to a crowd of people as a shot rings out. Kirk then grabs his neck before the crowd disperses in panic.
Kirk was at the university in Orem, Utah, for an event dubbed the ”American Comeback Tour.”
“WE. ARE. SO. BACK,” Kirk wrote on X shortly before the shots were reported. “Utah Valley University is FIRED UP and READY for the first stop back on the American Comeback Tour.”
Mike Lee, Republican Senator from Utah, posted on X following the incident: “I am tracking the situation at Utah Valley University closely. Please join me in praying for Charlie Kirk and the students gathered there.”
This is a developing story.
