Closer video… NSFL https://lemmy.world/comment/19313963
Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck during an event at Utah Valley University, according to eyewitness accounts and reports from Deseret News.
A suspect has been apprehended, and a shelter-in-place order was issued for the campus, as confirmed by UVU campus police and a UVU alert sent to students.
Witnesses reported seeing blood after the shooting, and Kirk was rushed to a local hospital.
U.S. Senator Mike Lee stated he is closely monitoring the situation and called for prayers for Kirk and the attendees.
Update: he dead
Straight to hell.
He was hit in the neck, skilled marksmen would struggle to hit his squished face.
The best sniper in the world couldn’t hit him between his eyes
Just imagine the shooter’s name is Mario.
Holy shit
LMAO! Rot in piss Charlie. Thought and prayers out for the old white dude who shot him. Can’t wait to see who the next rung on the ladder is.
The old white dude apparently didn’t do it. He’s reportedly already been released.
-1 Keep going.
I wish for him the same as he offered for other victims of gun violence.
He was reporting answering or had just answered a question about gun violence. Someone asked if he knew how many shootings happen each day and he had some shit head “including gangs?” comment as part of his answer.
“Including gang violence” were his last words
Dead Nazi
Let’s fucking goooo
op beat me to it. and it’s always by other right wingers (allegedly so far).
i wonder if that has to do with how fascists push for and normalize violence.
Charlie Kirk quote after a Tennessee school shooting:
“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths each year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe.”
Did they hit his forehead?
Through the neck.
It appears he died.
Shot, not killed. Likely another Trump “assassination” attempt to get more crackdowns going. The right loves to stage violence as a means to an end.

NSFL 👆
That’s a goner. Yep, NSFL btw, extremely close-up.
I don’t see how anyone could survive that but allegedly he’s in critical condition.
Edit: nevermind
So was JFK for a while.
What is NSFL? I know NSFW. I put a warning.
Not safe for life.
Damn kind of wish I didn’t watch that
Yeah as someone who owns guns this really fucking re-affirms the fact that I never want to use them, even if I really fucking hate the person and they’re actively trying to kill me.
Wish I could unclick that link. But in a fucked up way I think if you own guns you should probably have to know what they do, and I don’t think words convey it well.
HOLY SHIT
This wasn’t a trump situation where he got nicked by a piece of something that broke and hit him in the ear. Would be insane if Charlie Kirk agreed to that. It was brutal.
Oh, once I watch the video, I realized I was definitely wrong. Why I posted it below. It sucks that they are so dishonest on the right that my initial reaction was immediately that this was staged.
My bad. I wasn’t paying attention to usernames and didn’t realize you were replying to your own comment. At least the response from the right is consistent with every other shooting. The response has been thoughts and prayers.
Sadly, this will be used as more justification for Trump to send military into US cities.
it hit him in the neck lmao, he’s done
