Closer video... NSFL https://lemmy.world/comment/19313963

Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck during an event at Utah Valley University, according to eyewitness accounts and reports from Deseret News.

A suspect has been apprehended, and a shelter-in-place order was issued for the campus, as confirmed by UVU campus police and a UVU alert sent to students.

Witnesses reported seeing blood after the shooting, and Kirk was rushed to a local hospital.

U.S. Senator Mike Lee stated he is closely monitoring the situation and called for prayers for Kirk and the attendees.

Shot, not killed. Likely another Trump “assassination” attempt to get more crackdowns going. The right loves to stage violence as a means to an end.

I don't see how anyone could survive that but allegedly he's in critical condition.

Edit: nevermind

So was JFK for a while.

What is NSFL? I know NSFW. I put a warning.

Yeah as someone who owns guns this really fucking re-affirms the fact that I never want to use them, even if I really fucking hate the person and they're trying to actively kill me.

Wish I could unclick that link. But in a fucked up way I think if you own guns you should probably have to know what they do, and I don't think words convey it well.

This wasn't a trump situation where he got nicked by a piece of something that broke and hit him in the ear. Would be insane if Charlie Kirk agreed to that. It was brutal.

Oh, once I watch the video, I realized I was definitely wrong. Why I posted it below. It sucks that they are so dishonest on the right that my initial reaction was immediately that this was staged.

My bad. I wasn't paying attention to usernames and didn't realize you were replying to your own comment. At least the response from the right is consistent with every other shooting. The response has been thoughts and prayers.

Sadly, this will be used as more justification for Trump to send military into US cities.
