Charlie Kirk’s Final Words Before He Was Assassinated Have Been Revealed
The U.S. has been rocked by the death of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.
While responding to questions at a protest at Utah Valley University, the 31-year-old conservative activist was shot and killed.
These are his bold remarks just prior to the assault.
Responded confidently
After being shot during an event at a Utah college, Charlie Kirk, the CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, passed away at the age of 31.
Donald Trump, who called Kirk a “very, very good friend,” shared the news on Truth Social:
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”
When a member of the audience went up to the microphone to question Kirk about mass shootings, the horror started.
“Do you know many transgender Americans have been shooters over the last 10 years?” the individual asked.
“Too many,” Kirk said boldly, and the audience exploded in cheers.
When the same person insisted the number was five and asked about total mass shooters over the past decade, Kirk replied, “Counting or not counting gang violence?” These were his final words, according to Daily Mail.
A single shot rang out a few moments later, hitting Kirk in the neck.
Died 90 minutes after being shot
As he sank in his chair, blood dripping, the crowd went into a panic, and mayhem broke out throughout the venue.
Kirk tragically passed away approximately 90 minutes after being shot, despite the fact that local officials claimed he was promptly sent to a neighboring hospital for emergency care.
Kirk leaves behind a 16-month-old boy, his wife, Erika Frantzve, and their daughter, who is three years old.
According to the FBI, no one is being held in connection with the incident at this time. After being questioned, a suspect who had been arrested earlier in the day was freed.
The shooter, who fired from the top of the Losee Center about 200 feet from where Kirk was speaking, is thought to have acted alone. Authorities have called the attack a “political assassination.”
FBI Director Kash Patel stated:
”The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement. Our investigation continues and we will continue to release information in interest of transparency.”
Outspoken about crime and mass shootings
As part of his American Comeback Tour, Kirk, who was well-known for his traditional values and strong pro-Trump beliefs, regularly participated in heated arguments at campuses across the country. He had already encountered resistance at UVU, where over 7,000 people signed a petition to exclude him from the university.
Kirk stood out for the Second Amendment and was vocal about crime and major shootings. In May 2023, at a Turning Point USA event, he stated:
”We should have an honest and clear reductionist view of gun violence, but we should not have a utopian one. You will never live in a society where you have an armed citizenry and not a single gun death. That is nonsense, it’s drivel. But I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights.”
His comments were made a week after a shooter at Nashville, Tennessee’s Christian Covenant School killed three adults and three children. On his podcast, The Charlie Kirk Show, he also discussed the May 2022 school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, referring to it as a “act of evil.”
“There’s moments in time. And there are stories that happen where you just take a pause and the evil that is committed is just so overwhelming. It almost like ruins your day and it just impacts everything you do. And it kind of dominates the conversation for the time being between your friends and family members.”
Leaders react
Kirk never shied away from controversy and was well known for encouraging debate among young Americans. Several videos of his altercations with liberal college students have gone viral.
The announcement sparked reactions from political figures of all stripes. Spencer Cox, a Republican governor, stated:
“This is a dark day for our state, it’s a tragic day for our nation.”
Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, who previously had Kirk on his show, added:
“The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.”
