Overview

• Kirk, 31, was struck in the neck about 20 minutes into his outdoor Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem, according to videos and witnesses.
• University spokespeople said the shot appeared to come from the Losee Center roughly 200 meters away as thousands looked on.
• The FBI and ATF said they were monitoring the case and deploying agents while local police continued an active investigation on the closed campus.
• Early reports that a suspect was detained were later disputed by the university, and authorities have not confirmed an arrest, identity, or motive.
• The event was part of TPUSA’s American Comeback Tour, and the shooting drew swift bipartisan condemnation and messages of support for his family.
