Charlie Kirk was shot while responding to a question about the number of mass shootings committed by transgender people over the past 10 years. During the exchange, he said "Too many" when asked about how many transgender Americans had been mass shooters. The audience member then said it was five and asked about the total number of mass shootings in the last decade. Kirk replied, "Counting or not counting gang violence?" It was at that moment, during this conversation about mass shootings, that Kirk was shot in the neck from a distance of about 200 yards. He was sitting under a tent at the time, speaking to an audience at an event at Utah Valley University.
