Charlie Kirk Shot – UPDATE: President Trump Has Confirmed Charlie Kirk Has Died

Charlie Kirk Shot – UPDATE: President Trump Has Confirmed Charlie Kirk Has Died

Founder of TPUSA and Trump supporter shot at university event

Update, 4:57 pm: Sadly, Charlie Kirk has died from his injuries.

Earlier reporting:

Turning Point USA founder and right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck while delivering a presentation on Wednesday afternoon at Utah Valley University in Orem.

According to NBC News:

Kirk was removed from the premises by his security team, the school said.

Videos circulating online appear to show Kirk recoiling after a shot was heard, with blood pouring from his neck.

The New York Times reported:

A university spokeswoman, Ellen Treanor, said that Mr. Kirk was struck about 20 minutes after he began speaking on campus. She said a suspect had fired at Mr. Kirk from the Losee Center, a building about 200 yards away.

While an earlier report from NBC said that a suspect was in custody, an update from the New York Times said that the person they had originally detained was not the gunman.

The university originally said the shooter had been taken into custody. But officials determined that person they had detained — who can be seen in videos posted online — was not the gunman, another spokesman, Scott Trotter, said later, relying on information from the university’s police chief, who was coordinating with other law enforcement agencies.

We are seeing very few reports of Kirk’s condition.

According to The Associated Press, Kirk is in critical condition.

At 3:48, Turning Point posted on X: “Charlie is alive and fighting in hospital. Please join us in praying for him.”

In a 3:30 post on X, Glenn Beck said he’d received word that Kirk had been stabilized.

President Trump lifted up Kirk in a Truth Social post: “We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!”

As Kirk fights for his life, the Left has already begun demonizing him.

MSNBC’s Katy Tur called him “a divisive figure, polarizing, lightning rod. What ever term you want to use.” The left is absolutely VILE!”

Another victim of leftist incitement.

Remember when they called him stochastic terror? The reason they invented the term is they are doing it.

    I have seen the left posting that
    they need to start shooting white
    christians so they can get their
    gun control passed ….

      guyjones in reply to jqusnr. | September 10, 2025 at 4:43 pm

      These Dhimmi-crat terrorist-thugs are pure evil.

      Milhouse in reply to jqusnr. | September 10, 2025 at 5:00 pm

      The strange thing is that they really honestly believe that it would have that result. They really honestly believe that we “know” they’re right, and only resist their “common sense” regulations because we don’t care about the victims. Once we start hurting ourselves we’ll quickly come around to their side. That’s ridiculous, but they think it’s true.

      It’s of a piece with that other really stupid left-wing slogan, that if men had babies abortion would be a sacrament.

      JohnSmith100 in reply to jqusnr. | September 10, 2025 at 5:17 pm

      If that is the case, they will will face lots more armed white people, what needs to happen are enough armed white people taht someoen will be available to stop Dem creations.

    diver64 in reply to Danny. | September 10, 2025 at 4:15 pm

    Let’s hear again about the right wing violence and the white supremacist groups. Who is doing all the violence in our country. Shooting up churches, trying to assonate people? The left is out of control egged on by their political masters in the DNC and the msm.

      henrybowman in reply to diver64. | September 10, 2025 at 4:30 pm

      “White supremacy … is the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland. And I’m not just saying this because I’m at a Black HBCU. I say this wherever I go.”
      –JOE BIDEN, AMERICA’S STUPIDEST PRESIDENT

      This should get engraved on his gravestone.
      Soon.

      Milhouse in reply to diver64. | September 10, 2025 at 4:56 pm

      Those things still exist and are still problems. The existence of a far greater problem doesn’t make them go away, or make them less deadly. It just makes them a lower priority.

      Drawing attention to them is something the left uses to distract attention from their own far greater problem. Don’t fall for that, but don’t do the opposite and ignore them completely on the assumption that they don’t exist.

      Milhouse in reply to diver64. | September 10, 2025 at 5:26 pm

      The guy pointing out the mote in your eye may be trying to deflect attention from the beam in his, but he’s not wrong. You do still need to get that mote taken care of.

MSNBC monster needs to lose their job,

Immediately

Morning Sunshine | September 10, 2025 at 3:28 pm

My daughter’s friends were there. She is taking classes online through her tiny college in Provo; her morning class ended early so her classmates could attend.
If she had had money to be living there and attending live classes, she would have been there.

That close up video is real bad; I dont think its survivable.
Looks like shooter was going for a head shot and probably failed to compensate for shooting from an elevated position.

This bad day in America just got very much worse.

Luigi is the new role model for these violent people pretending they are saviors, but act more like destroyers.

Send in the Guard to the campuses. They are a danger.

Good wishes to Charlie Kirk and us all.

    And, the warlord/terrorist/brigand, mohammed, the KKK, Bolshevik terrorists and innumerable ethno-centric terrorist groups from the 60’s and 70’s were the vile Dhimmi-crats’ role models, before St. Luigi.

    A long line of terrorists to inspire these evil pukes.

Demonize a man 24/7 and it’s only a matter of time before someone takes a shot at the target they paint on his back.

There has always been a price for their rhetoric. This is just the latest. And it needs to be taken seriously for once by our politicians.

Denounce, or resign.

Democrats have had a great month. Trans kid shoots up a Catholic school, a career criminal murders a woman that fled violence in her own country, a gang smashes and attacks an elderly jewelry store owner, now Charlie Kirk is shot while engaging in his 1st Amendment rights. The public policy of Democrats is a threat to us all. At some point enough will be enough. The breaking point is coming I think. I’m just not sure what it will be. We watched them destroy the country during Covid and the following BLM riots. Never again!

This is to be expected with leftists and the MSM constantly demonizing conservatives. They’re probably clinking the champagne glasses even as we speak.

Unbelievable…. but, not unpredictable. When Trump was shot, I read a twitter comment that said, ‘If they can shoot him, none of us are safe.’ Let’s all pray for a miracle for Charlie.

Anyone familiar with gunshots knows that he’s most likely not gonna make it after watching that close up video.

destroycommunism | September 10, 2025 at 3:46 pm

its not “gun violence”

its hateful leftists against america violence

we cant let the lefty control this narrative!

prayers for CK!!!!

I’ve seen video of the suspect being arrested. He’s an older (60+) white male, largely balding with whatever hair remains is closely-cropped. White shirt. He’s bowed over with police holding him, so it’s not possible to see if his shirt says anything.

    TargaGTS in reply to TargaGTS. | September 10, 2025 at 3:57 pm

    Sorry, I meant BLUE shirt. Not sure how/why I put white above. Here’s a video of the alleged shooter with a good look at his face. He may be closer to 80 than 60.

    https://x.com/ChrisLoesch/status/1965865387972767805

      Milhouse in reply to TargaGTS. | September 10, 2025 at 5:05 pm

      And the key word there was “alleged”. Innocent guy.

        TargaGTS in reply to Milhouse. | September 10, 2025 at 5:34 pm

        He’s not the shooter. His innocence remains to be seen. He was taken into custody because immediately after the shooting, he began shouting: ‘It was me.’

        Maybe he’s a cantankerous old fool. Or, maybe it’s something else entirely. We’ll see.

          henrybowman in reply to TargaGTS. | September 10, 2025 at 9:00 pm

          In the video, he’s clearly yelling “Shoot me!”
          Mental suicide case a distinct possibility.
          Doesn’t look like this dude could hold a rifle steady enough to hit a barn.

          TargaGTS in reply to TargaGTS. | September 10, 2025 at 9:12 pm

          Yeah, the geezer is definitely not the shooter. But, local PD has announced he’s still in custody and is being charged with disorderly conduct. It’s a heckuva coincidence that a certifiable nutter would immediately stand up and take credit for the shooting. Also, the 2nd person of interest, who’s now been released, had a long-rifle pellet gun that had a faux-suppresser and a scope on it. Again, it’s a weird coincidence someone would be carrying that on campus immediately after a shooting. Maybe Utah is the land of nutters and they’re everywhere. IDK.

          henrybowman in reply to TargaGTS. | September 10, 2025 at 11:20 pm

          Or several people got paid by a pro to be distractions and waste cops’ time while the shooter booked it.
          Kirk had enemies other than deranged shitlibs, Muslims being the best alternative. Iran, or random Pali pressure groups. Others are saying it’s no coincidence that he got hammered while answering a question about tranny shooters.

          nordic prince in reply to TargaGTS. | September 11, 2025 at 12:09 am

          Distraction and a diversion from the real perp.

          TargaGTS in reply to TargaGTS. | September 11, 2025 at 12:58 pm

          The old man turns out to be a ‘political activist’ nutter who’s well-known to local law enforcement with a string of arrests dating back to the 1980s.

          https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15088679/Charlie-Kirk-shooting-arrest-George-Zinn-Utah-activist.html

          I’m still really curious to learn why a kid is carrying around a pellet-gun in the shape of sniper rifle complete with scope and faux-suppresser.

          Milhouse in reply to TargaGTS. | September 11, 2025 at 8:06 pm

          And politically conservative. He seems to just want to be part of every event, and doesn’t much mind being arrested.

    Sanddog in reply to TargaGTS. | September 10, 2025 at 4:04 pm

    And the only thing you can hear him say is: “I have a right to remain silent”. That’s pretty much a confession.

      nordic prince in reply to Sanddog. | September 10, 2025 at 4:50 pm

      Not necessarily – I would invoke the 5th A as well regardless of circumstances, even if (and especially if) I were innocent.

      Milhouse in reply to Sanddog. | September 10, 2025 at 5:06 pm

      No it isn’t, and now you know why.

      TopSecret in reply to Sanddog. | September 10, 2025 at 7:04 pm

      There’s nothing wrong with invoking your rights. Invoking your rights is not an admission of guilt and cannot be used against you. Invoking your rights is always the smartest thing to do. Whatever you say to law enforcement can and will be used against you.

BLM has come out saying blacks have right to be violent. Kirk was a strong voice…but respectful…. someone the Left just had to get rid of.

destroycommunism | September 10, 2025 at 3:48 pm

they are showing an older wht guy as the pos shooter!!

There are some mighty big and very important vessels in the affected area he was shot. The speed in which he gets great “holding pattern” care that then quickly delivers him to definite care and repair will be what man can do to save his life. The rest is out of man’s hands.

That MSNBC anchor should be fired on the spot!

utah is a death penalty state ….
I think this would qualify

Time every DNC member has to under go a mental evaluation

I saw close up video on reddit. It doesn’t look survivable. Medical miracle?

:40 into the clip the leo says:

he said he shot him but I dont know as they were dragging off the old white male

Let’s get a national conceal and carry bill passed. I have one in Washington but the other Left coast states don’t reciprocate. Make these radical scum bag Democrats think twice before trying this again. How long before they go into more random churches, schools, homes and hospitals?

    As much as I support that, it wouldn’t have helped here. Charlie and/or his bodyguards and/or bystanders would be reacting to the murderer’s shot. The murderer had the advantage of deciding when to act. If he was quick about it, there’s nothing anyone could have done based on human reaction time.

    You have to do that AND remove government gun-free zones for this to be effective.

Kamala voters are opening celebrating now in comments on major news sites.

destroycommunism | September 10, 2025 at 3:58 pm

they can say what the want those vile pos

but they arent allowed to do it and get away with it

maga will rise up

This is how the left works. Don’t expect apologies or condemnation, and if you get any, it will be hypocritical lip service.
It is very scary to see these un-American attitudes openly thriving in universities, media, big tech and even Congress. If Conservatives keep turning the other cheek there will be no America left to defend.

This is the left! They are violence!

The thing about violence though is that it needs to be met with greater violence to put it down. Contradictory but this is the reality of life.

Pray Glen Beck really is right

destroycommunism | September 10, 2025 at 4:01 pm

so if an excellent guy like CK ,,even if you hate his pov,, he is a great respectful young man,

that doesnt leave any room for debate with lefty

lefty doesnt debate and they are proving it time after time

Leftists trying to silence conservative voices. Kirk didn’t hold public office.

The left whines about eliminationist rhetoric from the right, but never acknowledges their own rhetoric.

Trump is Hitler….it’s okay, even good, to kill Hitler…..it’s okay, even good, to kill Trump.

Republicans are Nazis….it’s good to kill Nazis….it’s good to kill Republicans.

Then they are “shocked” when one of their followers actually tries. Or, they blame Trump/GOP (well, if they weren’t Nazis…..)

All while convincing themselves they are the good, peaceful, loving, tolerant people. Spoiler alert: they are none of those things.

FOX just reported as in critical condition (but still alive).

I’ve never heard of him, so I’m on the wrong channels to see 24/7 demonization. Scott Adams is shaken by it though, putting out a second live stream.

    smooth in reply to rhhardin. | September 10, 2025 at 4:10 pm

    He’s straight edge christian AM talk radio personality. He’s not big enough for prime time TV, sometimes guest on fox.

    henrybowman in reply to rhhardin. | September 10, 2025 at 9:04 pm

    He runs Turning Point, a conservative Christian organization that specializes in organizing and supporting conservative students in higher education.

I”d suggest message to lefties: the demonization you’re seeing is FICTION. It’s composed for your viewing pleasure but it’s not REAL.

It’s like worrying about the enemy that Star Wars is fighting.

    steves59 in reply to rhhardin. | September 10, 2025 at 7:03 pm

    What the actual f*ck are you talking about?
    Take a Ritalin and explain this soup sandwich of a comment.

      Milhouse in reply to steves59. | September 10, 2025 at 7:58 pm

      He’s making sense. The demonization that we’ve seen coming from the left is of course not real; we know that. The problem is that too many people on the left don’t know it. Not the perpetrators of the lies, but the audience for them. They’re watching a horror movie and think it’s a documentary or a news report. And they react accordingly.

        henrybowman in reply to Milhouse. | September 10, 2025 at 9:05 pm

        It makes sense only if you can figure out what demonization he’s talking about. I’m sitting here trying to figure out what part of the shooting he was talking about.

        steves59 in reply to Milhouse. | September 10, 2025 at 9:41 pm

        He’s only making sense if you can decipher autism-flavored verbiage. He uses general terms and muddy phrases that are haphazardly strung together. He does it because he thinks it makes him look smart.
        Let me rewrite it in a way that supports your comment.

        “I’d suggest this message to lefties: the demonization of conservatives that you’re seeing is FICTION. It’s composed for your viewing pleasure but it’s not REAL.”

        Note that I deleted the entire last nonsensical sentence of his.
        NOW his comment makes sense.

destroycommunism | September 10, 2025 at 4:12 pm

chafez is making a good point that he doesnt think the shot was from 200 yards away….thinking he is correct

and just another thought

if the wht guy says he shot him but isnt the real shooter was that guy saying that so that the real shooter could get away??!!!

Some jackass talking on MSNBC said it could have been one of his supporters shooting a gun in celebration.
That evil POS better lose his job.

smalltownoklahoman | September 10, 2025 at 4:17 pm

This rabid intolerance for opposing views, anything not in lock step with them that the left is building, no good can come from it. I have to believe this is part of why he was shot.

Subotai Bahadur | September 10, 2025 at 4:18 pm

I think that the events of the last decade or so may well indicate that we are no longer in an era where political differences are settled peacefully; with all that implies.

Subotai Bahadur

It is now being reported that Charlie Kirk is dead.
Like somebody else said, this is not ‘gun violence’. It is left wing violence and it needs to be stopped.
Trump, with Congress needs to do something NOW.

    Milhouse in reply to Exiliado. | September 10, 2025 at 5:13 pm

    Calls to “do something” always and inevitably lead to “This is something, so we should do it”. That’s the left’s problem; we should not fall into the same trap.

      Exiliado in reply to Milhouse. | September 10, 2025 at 7:26 pm

      No.
      “This is something, so we should do it” is the way idiots think. Normal, intelligent people do something that addresses the cause(s) of the problem and work towards a solution.
      I am surprised that you don’t know that, being so wise and perfect.

MSNBC’s Katy Tur called him “a divisive figure, polarizing, lightning rod. What ever term you want to use.”

Such is low-life, Catty Turd and other MSDNC scum.

We need the death penalty and we need it fast! No five years of litigation, now!

I was on the Charlie Kirk article when I wrote that comment. What’s the deal?

destroycommunism | September 10, 2025 at 4:31 pm

lets look at the lefts controlling the narrative with shootings:

jfk~~~~ they didnt like that oswald was a lefty a ussr /castro supporting commie ..so they changed the info

reagan~~~~ the shooter was trying to impress jodie foster…but no matter that..he shot a pro american ronald reagan…lefty made sure THAT never became the narrative

trump shot man dies sitting behind the potus~~~~~ it didnt happen..fake blood etc etc

trans shooters>>>dont release that info

pics/names of poc perps/minors~~~~~its against the law..its not .and if it was that could be changed by the gop if we pushed them to do so

recently murdered female on the train~~~lefty plantation masta……thanks to the media for not showing the perp…er the stabbing

and on and on it goes

And those promoting violence need to be made responsible. The First Amendment does not protect violence or incitement to violence.

    rhhardin in reply to Exiliado. | September 10, 2025 at 4:52 pm

    It’s fairly specific on what incitement to violence is, and it’s far from this.

    Fiction is protected speech.

    Milhouse in reply to Exiliado. | September 10, 2025 at 5:19 pm

    The First Amendment does not protect violence or incitement to violence.

    There was no incitement here. The things you would like to ban are not incitement, and are absolutely protected speech. Banning them in Kirk’s name would be a repudiation of everything he stood for. It would be spitting on the constitution.

      He did not say there was incitement here. Can you lose the shtick for even one day?

        Yes, he did. Why else would he mention incitement in this context? He was claiming there was incitement involved here, for which the inciters need to be “made responsible”. And followed it up with Holmes’s infamous line about falsely crying fire. You can’t deny that he was calling for a ban on what the courts have consistently held is protected speech.

          He said nothing of the sort. He simply said that people who promote violence need to be made responsible. Responsibility can take many forms. You choose to misconstrue, once again.

          He also said the First Amendment does not protect violence or incitement to violence. That is accurate.

          He was not calling for a ban, either. Again, you misstate, as usual. It’s easy to deny your assertion.

          It’s sad to observe someone that cannot leave people to their thoughts. You love telling others what they are saying or meaning, and it’s pathetic.

          Milhouse in reply to Milhouse. | September 10, 2025 at 8:32 pm

          He did, and you are just pretending not to understand that. It is true that the freedom of speech does not include violence or incitement thereto, but there would be no reason for him to mention that fact in this context if he did not mean to say that such incitement was involved here.

          It’s also a fact that water at sea level freezes at 0°C, but it’s irrelevant to this story. So is the fact that incitement is not protected speech, if you agree that none was involved. Therefore invoking that fact is the same thing as saying that there was incitement here, speech that should be punished by law.

          But there wasn’t. Hence my original response, that you are maliciously attacking.

          No. You are intentionally twisting by pretending he said there was incitement when he never did. It’s your way. You are a real piece of work.

          Milhouse in reply to Milhouse. | September 11, 2025 at 9:03 am

          You’re a piece of work. A vicious one. If he agreed there was no incitement here then there is no possible reason why he would ever bring it up in this context. The only possible reason to invoke it is to claim that it was present here, and should be punished. You know this. You are defending him by twisting his words out of all recognition, for no other reason than your vicious hatred of me and your delight in making me suffer. You deserve all the suffering you are inflicting on me. You deserve for it all to rebound on you and make you miserable, you sadistic bastard.

Enough! The vile, stupid and evil Dhimmi-crats/”Anti-fa” terrorist-thugs, tranny terrorist-thugs and Islamofascist/Muslim terrorist-thugs must answer for their subversive incitement and terrorism, now!!!!

How incredibly horrifying.

May God hold him in his arms; indeed he is a martyr not only for his faith but also for the morality he preached to a world that seemingly has gone deaf to hearing it.

My God, what agony his wife must be enduring right now. Praying for her peace as well.

Finally, I think this is the moment. Protect yourself and your loved ones. We’ve crossed the Rubicon; not that we weren’t going to have to engage in this existential battle but just the same.

    henrybowman in reply to Peter Moss. | September 10, 2025 at 9:12 pm

    Take comfort in this:

    “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”

    The left’s martyrs are thugs and addicts. Their deaths burn cities.
    Upstanding, God-fearing religious martyrs… their deaths change the course of history.

I hope the assassin has been caught.

Charlie

YOY have been prove CORRECT

rip

condolences to the family

Trump reported that Kirk has died.

There are no words. I mean, what can rational and morally upright people (i.e., conservatives) say?

The Dhimmi-crat terrorists are celebrating the murder of a man for speaking his political views and opinions.

It is time to recognize the Dhimmi-crat Party and its sundry cohorts/offshoots/adjuncts — e.g., “Anti-fa,” “Black Lives Matter;” all the tranny and pro-Arab “Palestinian” agitators — as terrorist criminal groups, and, to treat them as such.

Now we are a step closer to another Civil War. We’ve played nice and put up with more than we should. But Democrat thugs are getting more violent and bold.

MoeHowardwasright | September 10, 2025 at 4:54 pm

It’s way past time for the President to bring the hammer down on leftist dark money influence. They are the ones fueling this hatred towards conservatives. Bring the FBI, IRS, Financial Crimes unit at Treasury to track down these heinous financiers of leftist haters. Charlie RIP. You will be remembered and those who perpetrated this assassination will be tracked down, interrogated and found guilty along with all who were involved.

Obama’s legacy to America.

If violence is all the Left has to offer, they have nothing to offer at all.
.

Dang. Rest in Peace, Charlie.

Potus told us, via Truth Social that Charlie died. That is when I believed it. Another person posted on X.. that we could have lost a future president.. He was reading my mind, Charlie had a bright future, too bright.
Some of the news statements say how he leaves behind a wife and two children.. but they forgot about a huge hunk of this nation. We feel his loss. Ad astra.

This is a horrible day. But, the extremely disturbing news that the assassin is still at large gives me tremendous pause about tomorrow and the days moving forward. If you kill once, you will obvious kill twice.

Charlie Kirk was a man of peace. His life was worth more than every vile Democratic piece of garbage combined.

I just donated to Turning Point USA. I hope everybody will to continue Charlie’s legacy!!!

I am sure the killer is a Leftist Democrat as they do not care about people except themselves and the Elites. MSNBC and other MSM is the worst for trying to push hatred onto people so they follow as a cult.

Curious how all the lefty pols are already admitting it was political violence. Usually they take the opposite tack until the incident is forgotten.

AF_Chief_Master_Sgt | September 10, 2025 at 6:26 pm

Does this mean it is open season on liberals?

Is there a list of who should be first?

What rules of engagement are functional now?

It is absolutely horrifying that the left started the warfare, first with Trump and now with Conservative icons.

But does that unleash the beast?

Or do we sit idly by now that it is OK to assassinate conservatives? Does this open the door for more leftists to assassinate Americans? Are we expected to take it?

This is not a call to action. It is a query as to when conservatives get to protect ourselves in our homes, in our work places, in our schools, on the streets, on the subway, in grocery stores, and at gasoline stations.
