Charlie Kirk (Photo via X)Charlie Kirk might be controversial, but he did not deserve what happened to him on Wednesday.The Trump ally was shot at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday.
The extent of Kirk’s injuries was not immediately clear, but footage certainly showed that he took a direct hit to his neck as blood came pouring out.
Kirk, who once invited Kyle Rittenhouse to his show after he was acquitted in November 2021 of homicide, is one of the most prominent pro-Trump activists and conservative media personalities in the United States.

In video posts circulating on social media, Kirk can be seen getting struck while speaking while seated underneath a tent.
Wider footage shows that hundreds of people were in front of Charlie Kirk, which means a shooter was quite a distance away when he shot him.
