harlie Kirk, a well‑known conservative activist and ally of Donald Trump, was shot on Wednesday at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, in an incident a law enforcement source has confirmed. It’s not yet clear how severe his injuries are.
Kirk rose to prominence as a media personality and co‑founder of Turning Point USA in 2012, an organization focused on promoting conservative ideas and activism on high school and college campuses.
The FBI is involved in investigating the shooting. Kash Patel, the Director, said agents are on site and supporting the ongoing response.
Moments before the shooting, Kirk had posted on social media about his appearance at the university, saying the campus was “FIRED UP” as part of his “American Comeback Tour.”
Utah Governor Spencer Cox said he has been receiving updates from law enforcement and emphasized that those responsible will be held accountable, adding that violence has no role in public discourse and expressing his support and prayers for Kirk, his family, and all those affected.
