Trump Ally Charlie Kirk Shot Dead While Speaking On Gun Violence [Video]

Trump ally Charlie Kirk has been shot dead while speaking on gun violence.

Newsone Nigeria reports that Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has died after being shot at a campus event in Utah, a landlocked state in the Mountain West subregion of the Western United States.

This online news platform understands that Kirk, an influential ally of President Donald Trump, was known for hosting outdoor debates on campuses across the United States.

Reacting to the Charlie Kirk shooting video, President Trump said: “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” writes Trump. “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie.”

“Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife, Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”

After seeing Trump’s response and how quickly they had it prepared, I’m pretty convinced MAGA just sacrificed Charlie Kirk in an effort to save Trump from the Epstein Files and wars he can’t stop.

Video from the scene showed him addressing a large crowd when the sound of a single shot rang out. Kirk appeared to collapse in his chair before the camera swiftly moved, and sounds of panic erupted in the audience.

The university said the shooting happened around midday and initially said that a suspect was in custody, although multiple US media reports later said that was not the case.

Former Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz, who was at the rally, told Fox News the shooting had happened while Kirk was doing a question-and-answer session with the crowd.

“First question was about religion. He went on for about 15-20 minutes. Second question, interestingly, was about transgender shooters, mass shooters, and in the midst of that, the shot rang out,” a visibly shaken Chaffetz told the network.

“As soon as that shot went out, he fell back,” he said. “Everybody hit the deck, everybody… a lot of people started screaming, and then everybody started running.”

Sophie Anderson, 45, told the Daily Mail she was standing 100 feet (30 meters) from the stage, and she knew it was a gunshot as soon as she heard the noise.

“He was shot in the neck and just fell over, and he was just a fountain of blood,” she told the outlet.
