Conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk, was shot during a public event at Utah Valley University on Tuesday. This has sent shockwaves across the political space in the United States.

Kirk was in Orem, Utah, as part of his “American Comeback Tour,” where he hosts live debates and discussions with students under the banner “Prove Me Wrong.” The hall was packed with thousands of attendees when, shortly after noon, a gunshot rang out. Witnesses say the 31-year-old was struck in the neck. And this incident caused chaos as the crowd screamed, ducked, and scrambled for safety.

According to officials, the shot appeared to have come from outside the venue, possibly from a nearby rooftop or building overlooking the campus. Security forces quickly rushed in, and law enforcement agencies including the FBI have since joined the investigation. Authorities said one person was briefly taken into custody but later released, as no direct evidence tied them to the shooting.

Kirk was rushed to the hospital, where his condition has been described as critical. Confusion spread online soon after, with some outlets prematurely reporting his death, while others stressed he was still alive but fighting for his life. As of now, no official medical confirmation has been given on whether he has passed away.

The incident has ignited a fierce conversation about political violence and the safety of public figures in today’s America. Leaders across party lines have condemned the shooting, describing it as an attack not just on one man, but on open dialogue and democratic engagement.

Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.

Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.

“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
