Charlie Kirk’s last words were about US gun violence before he was fatally shot

Charlie Kirk was discussing incidents of gun violence in America seconds before he was fatally shot on Wednesday (10 September). The 31-year-old, who was speaking at a university rally in Utah, responded to a question from an audience member who asked: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” Mr Kirk responded “too many”, which resulted in some cheers from the crowd. After the individual said there had been five, they then asked the conservative political activist how many mass shootings there had been in the US in the last decade. Uttering his last words, Mr Kirk asked: “Counting or not counting gang violence?” before a sniper’s bullet hit him in the neck. He was rushed to hospital but soon died afterwards.
