Right-wing youth activist Charlie Kirk, a major ally of US President Donald Trump, was shot on Wednesday at a US university, according to multiple media reports.
Kirk was at Utah Valley University when the incident occurred, as reported by US networks and local media. His condition was not immediately clear.
Christine Nelson, from Utah Valley University police, confirmed only that “we did have shots fired. We’ve asked people to shelter in place.”
US President Donald Trump urged people on Wednesday to pray for Kirk after he was shot at a university in Utah. “We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social social media platform.
