    Charlie Kirk Was Asked About Shooters Seconds Before He Was Shot. These Were His Last Words

    7 hours ago

    US President Donald Trump's close ally Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA,  was shot and killed at an event in Utah University. Kirk was engaging with students in a public Q&A session on the subject of mass shootings and gun violence when the attack took place.

    Video footage from the event showed Kirk seated under a white tent, microphone in hand, responding to pointed questions from the crowd.

    Just seconds before he was shot at, a member from the audience asked, “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” Kirk responded: “Too many.”

    The same questioner pressed further, “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”
    Kirk replied with his last words: “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Seconds later, a gunshot rang out.

    Disturbing video from the scene showed Kirk clutching his neck as blood streamed from the wound, while horrified students screamed and scattered for safety. He later succumbed to his injuries despite emergency response efforts.

    Thousands had gathered to hear Kirk speak, and police officers were already stationed around the campus, yet the shooting unfolded in front of a packed audience. Kirk had been speaking from a sunken open-air space surrounded by university buildings, which quickly became a scene of panic.

    Speaking later to the New York Post, Trump described Kirk as "a very, very good friend of mine and a tremendous person."
