Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has died after being shot at a campus event in Utah.

Millions have seen the upclose video showing Kirk being hit in the side of his neck and gushing blood, and hundreds of witnesses run for their lives.

Video showed Kirk being asked about mass shootings before the shot was fired. His wife and two young children were on campus at the time of the shooting.

Before he even got on campus, thousands signed a petition asking Utah State University to bar Kirk from coming onto its campus. This was the usual thing that would happen at any campus he would show up to.

In the hours since his death, one person who was detained has been released.

On CNN, a new report gave details about the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk. Despite not giving a name, they did state he was 25 years old. That would be much older than the man who was seen being arrested on campus.

This unnamed individual is also said to be in custody.

Prior to his death, Kirk had become a national figure as a conservative influencer and as the founder of Turning Point USA, an organization that pushes for conservative politics on young people in high school as well as college.
