Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was shot during an event at Utah Valley University, according to multiple reports.

Videos shared on social media show Kirk sitting under a white canopy, talking when he suddenly falls back as the sound of a loud pop is heard. A spokesperson for Kirk told The Associated Press that he was shot. Kirk’s condition is unknown.

Mike Lee, a Utah senator, posted on X shortly after videos circulated online that he was “tracking the situation at Utah Valley University closely.”

“Please join me in praying for Charlie Kirk and the students gathered there,” he said.

Kirk, a conservative political activist, was in Utah for his “Prove Me Wrong” tour, which began at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The tour, as many of his events, have drawn both supporters and protesters.
