UPDATE: The man who was detained by police was not the shooter, and the university announced that no one has been arrested for the shooting.

Several videos emerged on social media on Wednesday of a Turning Point USA speech by Charlie Kirk in which he appeared to be shot in the neck.

A gunshot rang out at Utah Valley University as Kirk was about 20 minutes into his speech. Additional videos showed a huge crowd rushing for cover after hearing a gunshot.

An unverified video of Kirk being shot was uploaded to social media.

Attendees of the event wrongly claimed a white man was detained by police. The university said that the shooter is in custody. They have since withdrawn that statement.
