President Donald Trump said Kirk was shot and killed as he was speaking at Utah Valley University. Videos posted to social media show Kirk speaking into a handheld microphone while sitting under a white tent emblazoned with the slogans, “The American Comeback” and “Prove Me Wrong.”
A single shot rings out and Kirk reaches for his neck. A large volume of blood gushes from the left side of his neck. Stunned spectators gasp and scream.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox called the killing a “political assassination."
A “person of interest” was in custody Wednesday evening, Cox said, though no charges were immediately announced.
Utah authorities said the shooter wore dark clothing and potentially fired from a roof on campus some distance away.
