Charlie Kirk was shot and killed by an assassin while on stage during a stop at Utah Valley University kicking off his American Comeback Tour Wednesday, just as he answered a question from an audience member about mass shootings committed by transgender people.
The shooter remains on the loose, sources told The Post, despite conflicting reports that an arrest was made. Video was circulating on social media showing an older man being hauled away by police.
Even before Kirk’s death was confirmed, President Trump somberly spoke of him in the past tense, telling The Post, “He’s not doing well…yes, it looks very bad,” adding that he was feeling “not good” about the shooting.
“He was a very, very good friend of mine and he was a tremendous person,” the president said.
Kirk was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency surgery, his condition touch-and-go, a nurse told a longtime friend and former Turning Point USA employee Laci Williams who relayed that information to The Post, later confirming reports he had passed away.
