Charlie Kirk, the conservative organizer and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah on Wednesday, according to President Donald Trump and federal law enforcement officials.

The university said in a statement a single gun shot was fired at the event, and a suspect is in custody. The school locked down its campus following the shooting, according to students attending the event.

“We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot,” Trump posted to Truth Social. “A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!”

Lawmakers and politicians from both parties condemned the shooting and sent prayers to Kirk and his family.

“Say a prayer for Charlie Kirk, a genuinely good guy and a young father,” Vice President JD Vance wrote on social media.

FBI Director Kash Patel said the agency is deploying agents to investigate the shooting to assist with the investigation.

Samuel Benson contributed to this report.
