CNN: Charlie Kirk Shot at Campus Event in Utah

ANNOUNCER: “CNN breaking news.”

Sanchez: “We have breaking news to CNN. A source tells CNN that Trump ally and the founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, was shot at an event on a college campus in Utah.”

KEILAR: “And the extent of Kirk’s injuries at this point are not immediately clear. Let’s talk now with CNN’s Kristen Holmes. We have CNN political director David Chalian with us as well. Kristen, what can you tell us?”

HOLMES: “Brianna and Boris, I want to be very clear. I cannot tell you that much right now because this is a very fluid situation. People are still trying to figure out the details, the extent of the injury and what exactly unfolded on that Utah campus. As we have reported, Charlie Kirk is a close ally of President Trump’s. Not only that, he is somebody who helped him get elected this cycle. He is often seen here at the White House. He runs Turning Point USA, which is a youth organization where he’s tried to galvanize thousands of voters, Republican voters. He’s also a controversial figure at times. He goes into these various college campuses, pushes conservative issues, gets into back, heated back and forth often with these students on these college campuses. But, of course, None of that is violent. This is the first time we’ve seen this kind of reaction, obviously. So, what we know right now, everyone is monitoring the situation. He was shot during this event on this Utah campus and they are still unclear what exactly the extent of those injuries is. There are a lot of videos circulating right now on social media that are showing the crowds running away after gunshots went off. But, again, we are still going through all of this and talking to sources to figure out what exactly happened and how Kirk is doing at this time.”
