“We do know there was a shot fired from the top of the Losee Center,” UVU said in a statement. “Someone appeared to be at the top of that building or somewhere inside. We don’t know if they’ve been apprehended.”

"Say a prayer for Charlie Kirk, a genuinely good guy and a young father," Vice President JD Vance posted on X. "Pray for Charlie Kirk now," posted Republican leader Vivek Ramaswamy.

Utah Gov Spencer Cox said he is being briefed by law enforcement about the shooting. Cox said in a post on X that “those responsible will be held fully accountable.” “Americans of every political persuasion must unite in condemning this act,” the governor said.

California Governor Gavin Newsom said the attack on Charlie Kirk is dusgusting, vile and reprehensible. "In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form."
