Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has reportedly died after being shot during a speaking event at a Utah college on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to confirm Kirk’s death:

KSL reported that a suspect was apprehended following the shooting at Utah Valley University. Kirk, 31, was at the college as part of his “Prove Me Wrong” tour, which entails him having debates with members of the audience.

Former Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz told CNN that Kirk was answering a question about “transgender shootings” and “mass killings” when he was shot.

“When that happened, when that question came out, and he’s you know, he’s going to have the interaction, one shot. I was watching Charlie. I can’t say that I saw blood. I can’t say that I saw him get hit, but I did see him fall immediately backwards into his left,” he said.

No other injuries were reported. FBI Director Kash Patel said the agency is closely monitoring the incident, per NBC.

A university spokesperson told NBC that the shooting happened 20 minutes into the event.

Kirk’s condition is unconfirmed, though a law enforcement source told the Associated Press that he is in critical condition.

The Deseret News reported that the shooting suspect is an “older male.” However, a university spokesperson told CBS that the person taken into custody has been released — meaning the shooter’s identity and whereabouts are unclear. Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported that the person taken into custody is not believed to be the shooter.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
