It sucks that this is where we are in America, but I greatly prefer this--targeted attempts at one person--over school shootings and other random public shooters where the only objective is body count.

Since we're not going to do anything about the guns, and we're not going to do anything about mental health.

What a country.

Don't worry, there was also a school shooting in Evergreen, CO at the same time as an assassination attempt (success?)

Democratic governors condemn shooting

From CNN's Tori B. Powell

California Gov. Gavin Newsom called the shooting of Charlie Kirk “disgusting, vile, and reprehensible.”

“In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form,” Newsom said in a post on X.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro also condemned the attack, calling the shooting in a post on X “horrifying.”

“Political violence has no place in our county,” Shapiro posted. “We must speak with moral clarity.”

Echoing other governors, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said he condemns the shooting “in the strongest possible terms.”

“As I have said in the past and as I will continue to say: Political violence is never acceptable. Ever,” Moore said on X.

Reports I'm seeing are a rifle shot from range but I think it'll be a while before the facts are fully known.

On the video everyone immediately looks right and up into the parking garage.

There have been dozens of shootings at schools in the US this year

From CNN's Alex Leeds Matthews, Amy O’Kruk and Annette Choi

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot at an event at Utah Valley University today — marking the 46th shooting that took place at a school in the United States so far this year.

Twenty-four were on college campuses and 22 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left 18 people dead and at least 76 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

CNN cross checks these reports of school shootings against school and police accounts and media reports. All incidents of gun violence are included if they occurred on school property, from kindergartens through colleges/universities, and at least one person was shot, not including the shooter.

This post has been updated with additional information about how CNN tracks shootings at schools.

Well, I certainly didn't mean it was either/or. But one less crazy dude who could have shot up a Target instead.

He’s an asshat but I hope he survives. Close up video was pretty graphic, direct shot to the neck and blood just poured out. If they got the bleeding stopped quick enough though it could be survivable.

After seeing the close up video and the shear quantity of blood blown out of his neck, I think it's pretty clear he's Satan's problem now.

I feel sorry for his kids and family.

i have zero overlap with charlie kirk in my perspective and i would happily argue with him all day about his atrocious viewpoints...and i certainly wish he would have just stopped talking and gone away but you all have got to get a grip on your humanity.

regardless of right wing hypocrisy and general shitty-ness on things whether it be paul pelosi or the minnesota lawmakers, you are feeding into the spiraling disassociation from basic decency that our society faces.

nothing good will come of this and a couple of kids lost a dad today...regardless of how shitty a person you think he was (and i do) or how much comeuppance he deserved.

come on guys, this is bad, this is not how a civilized society functions. you guys are allowing yourselves to diminish your own humanity. what's the point if we lose that?

Well said.

This sucks. Stop fucking shooting each other.

I think the hydrostatic pressure would have scrammed what was left of his brain.  Some of the resident gun nuts might chime in, but I'd be shocked if he's not dead.  At a minimum, I doubt he'd be a high functioning human after this if he somehow recovered.   That video was graphic and the damage extensive.  There's always the possibility it was AI generated though and flooded to social media.

Dont care what politics ya believe but celebrate a guy (husband, father) being murdered is pretty sick.

I believe that the noted philosopher Mr. William Munny addressed this issue previously.   But I must note that your comment is not “news” related -  and my comment is not news related -  so I suggest we all stick to pure news.

It was lost long ago. There's no turning back. It sucks, all of it, this included. You can't force decency back into a society that was stripped of it years ago. It's not hard to delineate between the political spectrums on shit like this, just look at public statments between this and from the MN situation and Paul Pelosi before that, there's only so much that can be withstood when the rhetoric is so greatly outweighed from one direction. It's a fact, and there's just no going back. It's just depressing.

That is disappointing.    If true this'll queue up the conspiracy theorists.  A clean arrest, investigation, and trial are what's needed here.  A botch job will only encourage the cranks.

So the old dude was innocent.

Maybe the shooter was actually closer. Could've been a disgruntled former employee. Like a personal vendetta.

MSNBC speculated it was a supporter shooting a gun off in celebration.  So could've been that.

Wouldn’t that just be staggeringly perfect for the current timeline…Only several thousand conspiracy tangents one could think of from that point.

If that is a real video, that doesn't appear to be a survivable wound.  Fucking awful.  

I initially agree but I don’t know what resources were on the ground. I work with a special medical unit that has two pints of whole blood on standby. If his airway was clear and they could infuse blood quickly it’s possible he survived.
