Political commentator Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck and killled Wednesday during an appearance in Utah, officials said.
Footage posted to social media shows Kirk clutching his neck after a shot rang out during his speech at Utah Valley University during his American Comeback tour.
Panicked attendees can be seen stampeding out of their seats after the incident.
Kirk was in the midst of a question and answer session when the shot was fired.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social. “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. 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 shooter is still at large, officials said.
