Charlie Kirk Shot [Updated] | Power Line

Turning Point USA President Charlie Kirk has been shot by a leftist at an event in Utah. He was shot in the neck:

It is hard to believe that the wound would be survivable, but we can pray.

UPDATE: The university says the shooter fired a rifle from a distance of 200 yards. See below. This is the shooter:

Sorry to see he is still alive.

I knew Charlie a little, he was a good guy who did more than anyone else to bring common sense conservative messages to young people. If he is in fact dead, as seems highly probable, it is impossible to imagine the magnitude of the reaction we will see from conservatives. My own mood is one of white-hot anger.

We will report further as more facts become known.

UPDATE: MSNBC suggests that the shot may have come from a supporter of Kirk’s who fired his gun in celebration:

That might not be the dumbest thing we hear from the left-wing press in the next 24 hours.

MORE: The university says the shooter fired a rifle from 200 yards away from where Kirk was speaking. Charlie was taken to a hospital and there has been no report, so far, on his condition.

ANOTHER: This is the shooter being led away by police:

GOOD NEWS: Turning Point says that Charlie was airlifted to a trauma center, and is in critical condition but alive as of an hour or so ago:
