UPDATE: The suspect who shot Charlie Kirk has been ARRESTED.

Thank God law enforcement acted fast — but this never should have happened in the first place.

When a young conservative leader can’t even speak at an event without someone trying to kill him, it shows just how dangerous the political climate has become.

This was an attack on free speech.
This was an attack on America.

We better wake up.

This older man is the suspect arrested for shooting Charlie Kirk. This was a very nasty shot to the neck he took. He is a good man head to toe. This will take a miracle of God to save him. We all have to pray. #CharlieKirkshot #CharlieKirk #Leftistviolence pic.twitter.com/BJr6Efeleu

What a monster.

This is absolutely horrific. A true act of evil.

Police are currently investigating the shooting.

NBC News shared an eyewitness account of the shooting and subsequent arrest of the alleged gunman:

Justin Hickens, who said he was about 20 yards from the shooting, told NBC News’ Tom Llamas that he saw Kirk get hit after a gunshot rang out during the event at Utah Valley University.

“We heard a big loud shot, I saw a bunch of blood come out of Charlie, I saw his body kind of kick back and go limp, and everybody dropped to the ground,” Hickens said.

After a few moments, people started running out of the outdoor pavilion area, knocking over barricades. Hickens said he slowed down once he realized there were no more shots being fired and he felt safe.

“I kind of turned around and all of a sudden I saw officers walking with this very elderly gentleman with white hair,” Hickens said. “They had him arrested, they had him on his knees and he was screaming about his rights and all that stuff. They cuffed him and put him away.”

There was no metal detectors to get into the event, Hickens said, though there was security by Kirk himself.

Reports say the shooter used a sniper rifle from a nearby building.

Per Newsweek:

Utah Valley University spokeswoman Ellen Treanor has confirmed to the New York Times that Charlie Kirk was struck by a gunman positioned in the Losee Center, a building approximately 200 yards from the event site.
