Please note that NSFW/NSFL videos must be labeled as such or they will be deleted
Edit: also keep in mind that initial information in these situations can often be inaccurate. Trusted outlets have conflicting reports about whether a suspect has been detained.
Edit 2: the campus has officially stated they release the initial subject. Donald Trump has stated Charlie Kirk is dead.
Also, uh, if you have any doubt in your fortitude whatsoever, do not watch them.
Seriously.
For anyone who is curious but might not want to watch the video, here’s a description I found that a friend of mine who watched it says is accurate:
Description
he got shot in the neck by a high powered rifle and instantly litres of blood spewed out as he slumped over. He likely won't survive.Dude could have fell off his seat and onto a trauma operating table and still died.
"Likely won't survive"... My dude was dead within seconds.
He tensed up and stared off into the distance like he was gone instantly. Probably hit in the spinal.
Yep yep yep this x100, if you have PTSD or just have never seen or cannot handle extreme gore, probably actually do not watch the clip.
This is an extremely legitimately trigger warning worthy video clip.
Ya, the video is grim. Seriously doubt he survived.
For anyone wondering: it's not gory as such, but it is significant in that way that tells our lizard brains something undeniably bad just happened.
You may want this page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Charlie_Kirk
There are already 23 references to news articles and social media posts on there last I checked
The timing of the shot is wild:
I wonder if the shooter was able to hear what was being said.
They were reported as being on a building 200 yards away, so unless those speakers were booming, I doubt it
Trump himself is now saying Kirk is dead.

Why the Fuck does he Type like an Idiot?
Because he is an idiot
I like how every news outlet says "GRAPHIC WARNING", then proceeds to blur it anyways. Like... wtf is the point? Can't even find a link lol
