Videos show that Kirk was going back and forth with a student about mass sh00tings and transgender people when he was sh0t in the neck and likely passed away from the massive amounts of blood loss.

In the hours since his d3ath, more information continues to pour out.

The suspected sh00ter, who remains at large, used a bolt-action rifle that was found in a wooded area after he fled from the building from which he sh0t.

The rifle and three unfired rounds of ammunition inside it also had a message on them.

The Wall Street Journal reported that they were engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology.

Charlie Kirk Was Sh0t From 200 Yards Away

People gather for a vigil in honor of Charlie Kirk following his d3ath on Wednesday, Sep. 10, 2025 at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was k!lled by a gunsh0t wound to the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University.

Charlie Kirk was struck in the neck by a single sh0t fired from a distance of around 200 yards right after he answered a question about transgender individuals and mass sh00tings. Investigators recovered the weapon they believe was used to k!ll Kirk, as well as the suspect’s footprints and palm prints.

The father of two and Turning Point USA founder was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced d3ad.

Two people taken into custody on Wednesday were questioned and later released.

A manhunt for the sh00ter is ongoing for the sh00ter who is reportedly of college age, as stated by the FBI.

They are offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the suspected criminal.
