Conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot today (Wednesday 10) during a live event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
The act of violence unfolded in broad daylight as Kirk took part in a student Q&A session beneath a tent in the university courtyard.
Clips immediately went viral, showing the 31-year-old father and divisive political figure suddenly flinching and clutching his neck just seconds after praising the crowd.
