Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck, not the head, during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in Utah. He was addressing the audience outdoors when the shot was fired from a rooftop approximately 140-200 yards away. Witnesses saw him grasp his neck and collapse, and he was pronounced dead after being taken to the hospital. The suspect, Tyler Robinson, was arrested about 33 hours later. The shooting was described as a political assassination, and the weapon recovered was a high-powered bolt-action rifle.
