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.
News.Az, citing Al Jazeera, presents the photos showing moments before and after Charlie Kirk was shot at the university.
