Charlie Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The shooting occurred during an outdoor event in the university's courtyard, where Kirk was speaking to an audience of about 3,000 people. He was seated beneath a tent when he was shot in the neck by a bullet reportedly fired from the roof of the Losee Center, a building about 150 yards away from where Kirk was speaking. The incident happened on September 10, 2025, during the first stop of Kirk's American Comeback Tour at the university.
