Charlie Kirk, the conservative commentor and co-founder of Turning Point USA, has reportedly been shot at an event in Utah.
The AP is claiming at 4:25 PM ET that Kirk has died from his injuries and that President Trump has confirmed that.
I'm not a big fan of Kirk. He makes a living out of going around to college campuses and debating children. I've listened to some of his "debates" and he tends to use logical fallacies, especially the fallacy of equivocation, rather liberally. He also uses definitions for things that I have to believe he knows are wrong.
He is reported to have said that the 2nd Amendment is worth having a few gun deaths a year. I cannot verify that alleged quote but, if it's true, it wouldn't surprise me.
I have my problems with Kirk although I don't disagree with him on everything. He certainly doesn't deserve to be shot. Better to keep the conversation going.
A suspect that was reportedly detained has apparently been released and authorities are looking for the person responsible.
WTF is wrong with people? Can't we disagree without shooting at each other? This is going to be a real circus especially if Kirk has in fact died. Let's hope that report is inaccurate.
EDIT: It has now been confirmed that Kirk is indeed dead. It's a shame that things have come to this. There is still no word about the shooter.
