Furious witnesses to the shooting of Charlie Kirk screamed and hurled abuse at the suspected shooter as he was dragged away by police.
'How dare you, you f***ing monster!' one yelled as the suspect, an elderly man who has not been identified, was walked away with his trousers down.
Witness Justin Hickens told NBC News that he saw Kirk shot in the neck, and then saw 'a bunch of blood come out of Charlie.'
'I saw his body kind of kick back and go limp, and everybody dropped to the ground,' he said.
'I kind of turned around and all of a sudden I saw officers walking with this very elderly gentleman with white hair,' Hickens said.
'They had him arrested, they had him on his knees and he was screaming about his rights and all that stuff. They cuffed him and put him away.'
UVU officials said said the shot was fired from the top of the Losee Center, about 200 yards away from where Kirk was sitting.
Officials said that Kirk has been left in 'critical condition', and a source familiar with Kirk's condition told Daily Mail that 'doctors are still working on him' after the conservative influencer was raced to hospital.

The attempted assassination of Charlie Kirk transcends an attack on one man; it stands as a stark declaration of war against the very bedrock of Western civilization.
200 yards as being reported is the question.
One shot from a pistol from 200 yards is hard to buy.
Death Penalty? So, you are saying that Kirk is dead. Also, they would need to prove it was premeditated, since it’s not law enforcement or multiple people.
Seriously? A hero?
“This guy is never going to see the light of day, and may get the death penalty”
Ideally. But probably not.
For sure agree. I just seem to remember the law coming down lightly on the baseball game shooting and when Rand Paul was beaten within an inch of his life.
Interesting interview on Fox live now, young man who was there by the stage and who believes the person who immediately turned himself in had no weapon. The person being interviewed was told by a firefighter they are still looking for the shooter. The interviewee thought the whole thing was a setup that more people were involved because of the fact that one or more people immediately confessed and he did not believe the person turning themselves in was the shooter. No idea of the accuracy of this. The young man saying this was certainly very reasonable and well-spoken he wasn’t a nut.
Notice that the leftist creepozoids are not calling for more gun control when the bullets are aimed at conservatives. They blame the victim.
Something is wrong with this picture. Why isn’t this guy’s back broken and being set on fire right now?
The dude looks like Bernie Sanders.
I feel like they killed Breitbart and Scalia too.
Should have pulled out a revolver and replicated a Vietnam image right then and there...
And the side that’s shooting is not very civil.
There won't be any bail, if he dies of natural causes in prison, that is serving a life sentence.
The shot was either lucky or it was fired by an expert marksman.
The guy in custody doesn’t look lucky or like an expert.
With the proper equipment just about anybody can make a 200 yard shot.
“doubt if this guy is a 200 yard sniper.”
Why my dad would go to the outdoor 1000 meter range with me on the regular and he could hit all day with my 7 mag, 338 or 50 18” steel gongs at 76 was the last time we went out.
200 yards to someone who owns and practices with a rifle made for long distance shooting is like fish in a barrel. My 7 mag is bone stock from cabellas it has to be for factory class competitions it has cheap $500 glass on it and will bust tennis balls at 400 meters first shot cold bore every time the trigger is 3.5lbs and the only thing allowed to be adjustable because the stock trigger is a marksman adjustable trigger. $750 out the view from a major sporting goods store I can hit 5 for 5 inside a paper plate with it at 500 and easily if you range find and calc the mildots hit 18” at 1000 with it. Boomers are usually veterans of some war so they can shoot with the best of them. My dad was a 0321 in Nam he liked the M14 never liked any of the AR15s I gave him during the summer of love a few years back.
So…are we all going to pretend that we can simply agree to disagree with Democrats? Democrats are absolute human filth. Anyone claiming to be a Democrat is no better than an animal with rabies. Less in my opinion because they choose the rapid ideology that rots their brains.
this is how conspiracy theories are born.
Sickening display of weakness. It’s why the West will collapse. Men have become far to passive.
