Video of the attack showed Kirk sitting under a tent and engaging in a back-and-forth discussion on mass shootings just before a bullet hits him in the side of the neck and blood begins to rush out.
Audience members screamed and ran from the scene.
In the hours since Kirk’s death, many friends have mourned him online, including Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who leaked the final text message he sent.
Others, on the other hand, have been trying to piece everything together in the videos released.
A few videos have been slowed down to show that the single bullet that was shot may have bounced off Charlie Kirk’s bulletproof vest and into the side of his neck, likely killing him instantly.
