Charlie Kirk’s spokesperson Andrew Kolvet has confirmed that Kirk is dead after having been shot in the neck at a Utah Valley University speaking event for Turning Point USA. The attack came just a week before Kirk was scheduled to visit Colorado State University.

UVU campus police released the following statement after the attack:

“Today at about 12:10 a shot was fired at the visiting speaker, Charlie Kirk,” it reads. “He was hit and taken from the location by his security. Campus police is investigating, a suspect is in custody.”

An update from UVU officials revealed that an arrest has not been made and the scene is not safe for the public. Orem Police, Utah Valley University Police, the F.B.I. and the Utah Department of Public Safety are all investigating the shooting.

“There is no suspect in custody; it is an active investigation,” said university spokesperson Ellen Treanor.

Footage posted to X showed large amounts of blood pouring from Kirks neck where he was shot. An immediate slew of statements were posted to social media from politicians around the nation condemning the attack.

President Donald Trump posted the following to Truth Social, announcing Kirk’s death:

“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” he said. “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”

CSU’s chapter of TPUSA, which initially planned to host Kirk, declined to comment. The chapter has not yet provided any updates.
