Charlie Kirk shot at conservative students’ rally in Utah: Horror video shows MAGA star ‘being hit in the neck’

Charlie Kirk has died after being shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University.

The conservative commentator, 31, was hit by a single bullet while speaking to a crowd at the public university in Orem on Wednesday afternoon.

The father-of-two, known for his fierce MAGA views and thrilling debates with college kids across the country, collapsed immediately after being hit by the gunfire.

Kirk was answering a question about mass shootings mere seconds before he was struck. He was rushed to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

The killer is still on the loose, with a major manhunt by the FBI and Utah police underway. 

Kirk leaves behind his wife Erika Frantzve, with whom he had a three-year-old daughter and a son, 16 months. The couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in May.

President Donald Trump led the tributes for the late political commentator. ‘The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social.

‘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!’

The President has ordered all American flags to be lowered to half-staff until Sunday evening at 6pm EST in honor of Kirk.

Chaos erupted around 20 minutes into Kirk’s ‘American Comeback’ event, with videos showing hundreds of screaming students running for safety. 

The MAGA star, wearing a white t-shirt, was sitting inside a tented gazebo taking questions from attendees.

In the moments before the shot rang out, Kirk was asked how many mass shooters there had been over the past 10 years.

‘Counting or not counting gang violence?’ the commentator said, before lowering his microphone. 

He was shot less than a second later.

Screams were heard across the crowd of young people as those closest to Kirk rushed to his aid. 

UVU officials said the shot was fired from the top of the Losee Center, about 200 yards away from where Kirk was sitting on the college campus. 

Eerie footage showed someone on a rooftop just moments before conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was shot dead.

They initially took an elderly man into custody who turned out not to be the shooter, police said.
