This is an update to the story below. Charlie Kirk, 31, has died. The killer is not in custody. The assassin reportedly shot Charlie from a building, perhaps as much as 200 yards away. Mr. Kirk was under an open tent.
FBI Director Kash Patel reported that they have a suspect in custody, who later turned out to not be the shooter.
The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement. Our investigation continues and we will continue to release information in interest of transparency https://t.co/YXsG6YpFR5

Charlie Kirk was speaking to a crowd from under a tent in a courtyard next to the university’s Sorensen Student Center. The school is in Orem, Utah, roughly 35 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City.
President Trump made the announcement on TruthSocial.
Most troubling are the media stories blaming Charlie for his own death, insulting him, and then claiming this political violence was gun violence.
It was likely someone who couldn’t attack his arguments so he attacked Charlie.
The Original Story
Pray for Charlie Kirk. He was just shot in Utah. He was shot at a Utah Valley University event in Orem, Utah. Reports say he was shot in the neck. New York City radio host Dominick Carter said he saw blood coming from his neck. We don’t know how close he was to Mr. Kirk. Another witness said he was shot in the heart, but it was the neck. This graphic video of blood rushing out is on this link.
Mr. Kirk was launching his “American Comeback Tour” Wednesday at the university with his trademark “prove me wrong” table. He currently leads one of the nation’s most prominent conservative youth movements. Videos and photos of Kirk getting shot are online.
Mr. Kirk was getting a lot of hate mail for his plan to attend the event. He said it was worse than Berkeley.
Pray for Charlie Kirk!

Before the event, he spoke with Sen. Mike Lee about getting attacks from Utah of all places.
Correction: When we first published the story, we had gotten an erroneous report that the shooting was in Arizona.
I am not a betting man but if I was I would lay odds the coward who assassinated Charlie Kirk is an ANTIFA terrorist.
Democrats have been against American ideals since well before the Civil War. When their power is threatened, they still do today what they did back in the 1861. The Dems become violent. Klan, lynchings, riots, and assassinations, are all on the table. The latest political setbacks have made them even more desperate, and so a brilliant young Christian Conservative with a beautiful wife and family had to be killed. Today’s Democrats are a party with absolutely no soul. They cannot be reasoned with.
Let’s hope the real killer is caught, not some patsy, and that we get the full story.
Law enforcement in the USA does not inspire confidence.
Those MSM journalists are so evil that it makes one almost wish that someone would off them, I said almost.
I haven’t felt like this since I was 11 years old sitting in class hearing about JFK .
So sad . .
I was eight. Walking home from school when I learned. How awful. Same feeling.
The Demonic Beings running America could not have so many of our young adults following Charlie Kirk, who promoted Christian Values, was for ending abortion and living for the Lord Jesus Christ.
I know that this is going to BLOW BACK HARD IN THE FACES OF THOSE EVIL MINIONS, as The Most High God will use this Evil for Good.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
latest update He has died .
Sad that the other side continues this deviant behavior, I don’t wish for a civil war, but I’m not naive. I love my country and will defend it to the end, I say let’s end this bullshit and let the best man win.
There are a few right now that are spewing very hateful rhetoric, so they better watch their back.
Eventually someone we’ll get to them.
MSNBC is not journalism…it is a cheerleader and proponent for anti-white, anti-conserative, anti-family and anti-christian violence.
They ban, talk over, interrupt, scream, and shout down Conservative speakers. Now they’re trying to kill them, just like they did and continue to aspire to do to the president.
These left wing cockroaches are a clear and present danger – from the streets to congress. Their corporate scum media will start lying, spinning, and defending the shooter – 3,2,1…
Immaturity is at the core of liberalism.
They will eventually be dealt with…………good and hard. Nothing less will satisfy good Americans.
It’s time to realize a state of civil war exists in the United States. Appropriate action must be taken.
It has existed for quite a while…..accelerating now. Historically, it’s playing out just like last time. Began as disagreements growing in scope and vitriol. Neighbors pulling back from one another. Name calling. Families divided. Eventually, all hell broke loose. Missouri/Kansas border wars from 1859-65 made Fallujah and the Muj look tame. Not kidding…..rape, wanton murder, arson, beheadings…..
Yes as in its time to get it daphuq on already!
Stock up on the 4 B’s! Bullets, bandages, beans and Bibles!
I hope the shooter has multiple accident on his way to jail.
Guy looks to be about 70, prob a professor insofar as he was inside a campus building. A few broken ribs should generate a nice pneumonia event leading to aspiration.
Everyone needs to be prepared to fight the left. Lock and load!
Please tell me Utah has the ultimate penalty for this.
Choice of lethal injection or firing squad, I guess. This dirtbag better hope CK survives.
He should be eliminated regardless of whether or not Kirk survives.
Charlie Kirk has died as per updates on other news channels
Fire up ol’Sparky.
Stop all federal money to Universities. make all universities a right to carry place. If you respect the law you come unarmed if you don’t seems there are lots of guns out there so might as well make it equal to all .
Land of Romney. Mormons are a filthy deviant people.
Sex Cult to get old men laid.
MIRANDA – A female or one that identifies as a female, that acts like a Karen, that thinks she knows all of the laws of all nations, is outspoken, is always combative and argumentative. Miranda always acts like an entitled three year old girl, with the equal intelligence and emotional maturity.
The militia is on notice. Cops can’t be everywhere. Defend yourself and your neighbor.
All it takes to carry concealed (protected by the 4th A) is gravity, friction and wisdom.
Any university anywhere is a hotbed for violent, nose-ring, colored hair, bolshevik activism……….and that refers to the faculty. Add in a bunch of hateful little punks they refer to as college students, and it’s just slightly less unhinged than a Super-Max.
And the POS they have pinned down as the shooter — I will bet is a Professor at the University.
My exact immediate thoughts, Colonel
EDITOR: The text of this article is a MESS!!!! Read the opening line and tell me ANYONE checked it…
“Pray for Charlie Kirk. He was just shot in Arizona. He was shot at a Utah Valley University event in Orem, Utah.”
Fix your GD article and remove the references to Arizona. JFC! It’s not that hard……
Why are you so unhinged about an editorial error that you would resort to blasphemy. It’s one thing to go all “JFC” in the heat of a moment (still not cool) but to do so in a post? And add the ! More like Tommy Five Beers
UVU is in orem UTAH per the article. NOT ARIZONA
The fame FING LEFTISTS that demand the end of the 2nd amendment are always the shooters and aggressors. This is war.
Frigging, violent leftist.
“Cowards” People willing to kill to stop the truth!
All out War is very near.
Fully agree………….
Leftists cannot win the debate, so they silence their opponent, anyway they can.
