Friends say he scheduled public events around Ducks game times.

Overview

  • OutKick founder Clay Travis said Kirk preferred talking college football and was a "monster" Ducks fan who built events around their schedule.
  • He attended Oregon games at Autzen Stadium and on the road, including last year against Ohio State, and he appeared at Oregon State the day before that Ducks win.
  • His fandom included trips to the 2015 Rose Bowl semifinal, the CFP title game in Dallas, and a regular-season game at Michigan State, along with frequent posts hoping for a Ducks national championship.
  • Investigators have not announced an arrest, and reports say the shooter remains at large.
