Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old conservative activist and media personality, was killed on Wednesday by a single gunshot to the neck while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University.
The event, in Orem, Utah, was held at an outdoor stage, where around 3,000 people had gathered to hear Mr. Kirk speak. Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah, a Republican, described the shooting as a “political assassination.” As of Thursday, the gunman was still at large.
Here is a visual timeline of how the shooting unfolded.
Wednesday, 11:52 a.m.
The gunman was seen arriving near the university campus about half an hour before the shooting occurred, officials said at a news conference on Thursday morning. Officials said they were able to later use surveillance footage to track the gunman’s movements onto the campus and then through a stairwell to the roof of the building from where the shot was fired.
Noon
Mr. Kirk’s event was free to attend and scheduled to start at noon local time. The event was the first of a 15-stop itinerary on what was called the “American Comeback” tour, which had planned appearances at U.S. college campuses.
As the event began, Mr. Kirk was addressing the crowd and answering questions while sitting under a tent, emblazoned with the tour’s name, in the outdoor courtyard of the school’s main campus.
Around 12:20 p.m.
About 20 minutes after he began speaking, Mr. Kirk was shot. Videos recorded before and after the shooting show a person on the roof of the Losee Center, about 430 feet away.
Seconds before the shooting, Mr. Kirk was asked a question about mass shootings in America.
