Description:

Charlie Kirk, a conservative American activist and influential ally of US President Donald Trump, has been shot dead at a university event in the state of Utah in an apparent targeted assassination.

He was speaking at a debate at Utah Valley University when authorities say a shooter fired a single round from a rooftop, with video showing Kirk reaching up with his right hand as blood gushed from the left side of his neck.
