Turing Point USA leader Charlie Kirk was shot on Wednesday at Utah Valley University during an event. He was reportedly taking a question from the audience about shootings.
Fox News contributor and former Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who was at the event, said that Kirk spoke for several minutes before he took a question. The question was about the recent shooting by a person believed to be transgender.
"In the midst of that, a shot rang out," said a very shaken Chaffetz, his voice quivering.
He noted that Kirk had his own security that was in front of them, but that there was no additional security or any kind of metal detectors.
