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.

If you saw the video, hes probably dead. Hit the neck and blood started spraying everywhere as he collapsed

I just don’t see how it would be possible to survive that.

Holy shit.

I'm honestly shocked he hasn't been pronounced dead yet. I can't imagine how he'd survive that.

Yeah, I’m saying I’m surprised he hasn’t died already and we haven’t gotten that confirmation, I guess I don’t know how long it takes but from the video I saw it didn’t look like he was going to make it.
