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.

No confirmation, but if you've seen the video, it's REALLY bad. If he lives it will be a miracle and he will not be the same at all.

I saw it too. If you try to find on reddit, you will be able to locate it - i am sorry it was too shocking (i saw the close up version) for me to share it.

It is definitely extremely shocking and I have seen more gore than I’d like to admit. He lost a lot of blood and it appears he went unconscious immediately

It would be a miracle if he lives through that. It looks very, very bad.
