Witnesses reportedly said political activist Charlie Kirk was answering a question about transgender shooters when he was fatally shot during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
A kid came up and asked a question about how many transgender shooters there were,” Emma Pitts and Eva Terry, who are reporters for Deseret News, said as they described the scene, per CNN.
And Charlie gave him another comment and then he asked one more question, and so the question was about shooters and before Charlie Kirk could pick up the mic again, that’s when the shot happened,” they said.
Another witness said he thinks it is “interesting” Kirk was shot right after answering a question about if transgender people should be allowed to own guns.
“And then boom,” the witness said.
