Charlie Kirk, the leader of the nation’s pre-eminent right-wing youth activist organization, was fatally shot today while speaking at a campus event at Utah Valley University.
Local, state and federal law enforcement officials are still looking for the shooter, according to a university spokeswoman. “There is no suspect in custody,” she said. “It is an active investigation.” Follow here for the latest updates.
The spokeswoman said that Kirk, 31, was killed about 20 minutes after he began speaking on the university’s campus in Orem, Utah, by a shooter who fired from more than 100 yards away. The university originally said the shooter had been taken into custody, but officials later determined that the person who was detained was not the gunman.
