Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was shot on Thursday at an event at Utah Valley University, an NBC News reporter said on social media, citing a university spokesperson.
The spokesperson told NBC News that Kirk was giving a presentation when shots were fired and “to the best of our knowledge he was hit and taken with his security team away from the premises.”
In his reaction, US President Donald Trump condemned the dastardly attack on Kirk and called for prayers for him.
“We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
