US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah.
“We must all pray for Charlie Kerk, who was shot. He is a great man,” Trump said in a post on “Truth Suchs”.
The Associated Press also quoted a spokesman as saying that conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot during the Utah Valley University event.
Media reports stated that the bomber was arrested and he was not a student, noting that Kirk was speaking in front of a large crowd when he was shot.

She explained that the young man was wounded by a bullet fired by the port from the Lucy Center, a building about 200 meters from the place of the event.
