It’s being reported by the Daily Mail that shots were fired at a Charlie Kirk event at a university in Utah. They aren’t reporting a lot of detail, but here’s what they write:
Shots have been fired at a Charlie Kirk event at Utah Valley University.
Footage from the scene showed event goers screaming as shots rang out on Wednesday.
People at the event took to social media to share details of the moment someone opened fire at the conservative’s event as he conducted a Q & A session with students.
Kirk published a post on X just minutes before reports of the shooting emerged.
‘WE. ARE. SO. BACK,’ Kirk wrote at 2.23pm EST.
‘Utah Valley University is FIRED UP and READY for the first stop back on the American Comeback Tour.’
Republican Utah senator Mike Lee said: ‘I am tracking the situation at Utah Valley University closely. Please join me in praying for Charlie Kirk and the students gathered there.’

Here’s a report from someone whose son was at the event:
My son was up near the stage and had just moved back to get in line to debate Charlie Kirk. He said there was one loud gunshot and Kirk’s head flew back. Kids started screaming and running. He is now safe in his apartment. Working to confirm information. If you have kids on…
