Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck on the rooftop of the Losee Center at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah. The shot came from an elevated position on the roof, approximately 142 yards (130 meters) away from where Kirk was standing and speaking during an outdoor event called the "American Comeback Tour." The shooting occurred while Kirk was addressing the audience at UVU, and he was immediately taken to a hospital where he later died from his injuries.
