New Footage Shows Heartbreaking Reaction Of Person Who Was Asking Charlie Kirk His Final Question Before His Death [VIDEO]
Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative activist and ally of President Donald Trump, was shot dead at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
Video of the incident circulating on social media showed Kirk speaking to a large outdoor crowd as he sat under a tent.
Kirk briefly clutched his neck before collapsing to the side as blood rushed from his body. He was 31 years old.
Kirk was on a speaking tour, and the stop in Utah was the first of at least 15 scheduled events at universities around the country as part of his “American Comeback Tour.”
Before the shooting, he was seated at his “Prove Me Wrong” debating table and speaking with a man. Videos show that Kirk was going back and forth with a student about mass shootings and transgender people.
“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” Charlie Kirk was asked.
“Too many,” Kirk responded as the crowd responded with thunderous applause.
“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” Kirk replied, “Counting or not counting gang violence?”
Less than a second later, he was shot.
We now have footage that shows the heartbreaking reaction of the student who could be seen freaking out after the bullet struck Charlie Kirk.
How Close Are The FBI With Finding Charlie Kirk’s Shooter?
Law enforcement officials delivered an update on the manhunt underway for the shooter who killed conservative political activist Charlie Kirk.
The FBI revealed that a “high-powered, bolt-action rifle” was found in a wooded area where the gunman fled after shooting Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem on Wednesday.
Investigators have also collected a “footwear impression, a palm print and forearm imprints for analysis,” FBI special agent Robert Bohls said at a press conference.
Utah Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason, who was also at the presser, said the gunman “blended in well with the college” and “appears to be of college age.”
Bohls noted, “We’re not sure how far he has gone yet.”
In the wake of the Charlie Kirk shooting, two people were arrested and questioned. They would soon be released.
