He Was Asking Charlie Kirk a Question. Then a Shot Rang Out.

Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during a public event with over 3,000 attendees; authorities classify the incident as a targeted attack with the suspect still at large.

  • On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk, conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder, was shot in the neck under a small white tent at Utah Valley University and died during surgery at Timpanogos Regional Hospital, Orem, Utah.
  • Authorities say the suspect arrived at 11:52 a.m., ascended to the roof of a campus building, fired one shot, and fled into an off-campus neighborhood, with officials describing it as a targeted assault.
  • Investigators recovered a high-powered, bolt-action rifle in a wooded area and collected forensic evidence: footwear impression, palm print, forearm imprints for analysis.
  • Law enforcement is pursuing multiple leads in an active manhunt, the FBI offers a $100,000 reward, deployed full resources and set up a tip submission form, while UVU is closed until Monday, Sept. 15.
  • The shooting raised security concerns as UVU Police Chief Jeff Long said, `We train for these things, and you think you have these things covered,` and six officers were present, intensifying fears of political violence.
