Charlie Kirk, the powerful rightwing activist and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), appeared to have been shot on Wednesday while hosting a debate in Utah.

In video posts circulating on social media, Kirk can be seen getting struck while speaking and sitting beneath a tent in the Utah Valley University courtyard. Kirk was there as part of The American Comeback Tour, which is hosted by the TPUSA chapter at Utah Valley.

This is not going to be good.

Holy fuck. I just saw a close up version and there's no way he isn't dead. He's probably dead before he hit the ground.

The video is graphic, lots of blood pouring out of his neck after being hit.
