Shots have been fired at a Charlie Kirk event at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Footage from the scene showed event goers screaming as shots rang out on Wednesday.
The conservative firebrand, 31, was reportedly shot in the neck area, according to bystander accounts.
People at the event took to social media to share details of the moment someone opened fire at the conservative's event as he conducted a Q & A session with students.
Kirk published a post on X just minutes before reports of the shooting emerged.
'WE. ARE. SO. BACK,' Kirk wrote at 2.23pm EST.

Not to jump the gun until further details, but I have a suspicion that it's not a MAGA supporter who tried to kill Charlie.

From the video I saw, it appears the shooter being detained was a white, male of Boomer age (IOW, more than likely a liberal leftist).
Will wait for more news...

The Dimocrat potty is a group of extremely violent domestic terrorists. The leadership has blood on their hands for encouraging this activity throuh their inciting rhetoric. The insane rabble who listen to the dimocrat leadership all need to be on terror watchlists. All MAGA people are in danger. Stay alert.

How long is our side supposed to take this?
I'm reading Schlichter's latest fiction that is rapidly becoming non-fiction.
They need to die.

Hopefully Charlie Kirk will be okay, and I pray for him and his family.
How long before we are bombarded with "It was a right wing extremist who was discontent with Kirk" or "It was a mostly peaceful protestor" or "Kirk brought this on himself because of his views" or whatever lunatic leftist talking point the Enemedia can come up with?

The video of the shooting is extremely shocking. He was shot in the chest. Charlie needs our prayers and a miracle.

Just saw a video. It appears that a single shot from a rifle. God help him and save him.
Do THEY have any idea what they have just done?
I suspect the world is more dangerous for the deranged Leftists after today. It should have been after President Trump was shot.

Whelp, that didn't take long. Pmsnbc is already besmirching Charlie Kirk as "divisive and polarizing". One or the same Pmsnbc shill also said "it could've been one of Kirk's supporters shooting a gun off in celebration".
Someone tell me how the Enemedia isn't one of the main problems in this country?

Fox News Jason Chaffetz was at the event and saw it all happen. Had to be a well-planned assassination attempt . Prayers for Charlie and our country.

Kirk has been a conservative force and he scares the left.
Leftists will ask how could Kirk not be shot being a threat to democracy and all.
The perp's GoFundMe will metastasize.

Dimocrats are openly celebrating. Just like the middle east on 9/11. I do not think we can co-exist with the American left anymore.

It didn't take long for some leftist to insinuate that it was Kirk's fault he got shot. The leftists in this country have gone crazy.

The vile and violent left is always the assassins, they cannot win on their tired, worthless 'ideas', so they resort to violence, always.

Re: #3 - Given the general consensus of the Boomer birth years (1946 - 1964), did you mean to imply that Trump is more than likely a liberal leftist or mean to insult the millions of patriotic Americans who answered their country's call to serve under arms?
