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.

Agreed, but I didn’t see where this patsy was supposedly shooting from nor did I see any equipment.
With him talking like that don’t be surprised if he has already been coached by a lawyer.

“200 yards as being reported is the question.
One shot from a pistol from 200 yards is hard to buy.”
200 yards, with a pistol, standing in a crowd with people moving all around the shooter?
With Charlie under a tent, and likely to be somewhat animated and moving?
And presumably, taking the time to really aim, breathe, etc.. even a long bbl, pistol with a decent scope...
That is one hell of a shot.
This happens because the Left and the media are constantly vilifying conservatives. The former speaker of the house called Trump a fascist, Adam Schitt and dozens of democrats—AOC, Omar, Tlaib, Jeffries, Schumer, Warren, Durbin, Crocket, Raskin, Mandami, and more shot of their mouths and called him a Nazi, Biden said all his supporters are garbage, Hillary called us a basket of deplorables, Obama called us bitter clingers, TEABaggers and this was BEFORE Trump, so you know the Left has been full of hate of us forever.
And look at the DNCMedia! What did Joy Reid say—we were racist and white supremacists—because we are white!!! Cher, Clooney, O’Donnel, DeNiro, Bruce Springsteen, LeBron James, John Cusack, etc, etc...
It never ends. And all of these haters get away with it.
Playtime is officially over.
Open season.
No bag limits.

“We are in a civil war and only one side is shooting.”
I am going to guess you’ve never been in an actual war of any kind.
Maybe its time to start exterminating these leftist vermin!
“This guy is never going to see the light of day, and may get the death penalty. That’s the correct response.”
Based on recent events in Utah he’ll die of old age long before getting executed.
with a decent rifle, with a good, dialed in scope and good ammo..
Shooting a a known distance
We are talking a pistol, in a crowd, standing, target alive, and generally not 100% stationary.. With a pistol..
apples and oranges..
Where s the weapon?
I can’t see where I said that was the solution.
I would agree, “Where is the weapon?”
I don't doubt it can be done.
I know nothing about your father, but sounds like he had skill and discipline.
The picture of the guy in custody didn't look like he had either.
Same deal with Oswald, I just don't think he had the skill and discipline to takeout Kennedy with a sniper shot.
Well, this just shows how memories can sometimes adjust themselves for political convenience.
The baseball game shooter was shot three times by responding officers and died of his injuries three days later. Rand Paul's attacker got 8 months in jail plus 6 months home confinement, which is a normal range sentence for an assault/battery without a weapon. Paul also got about $600k in damages in a lawsuit.
I have not. But how is that relevant? I can still make an observation.
He wasn’t the shooter, that is confirmed.
“With the proper equipment just about anybody can make a 200 yard shot”
Truth, there are some damn fine factory rifles being made that can hit at 1000+ meters out of the box.
Remington 700 LR series for sure
Savage Precision also been there done that.
Ruger Precision same same.
I have a 7 mag in Remington, a 6.5 Creed ,308,25-06,300 win mag in Savages
Y 338 Lapua is a Ruger Perc. Any one of those I could hand to literally anyone off the bipod mounts and they could pull the sub 4on triggers and bust grapefruits at 200 or even 400 yards with. I have handed my 6.5 Creed to a teenager of one of my friends and his first shot was a hit on a grapefruit at 350 followed by 4 more in a row off the bipod in prone.
I agree, if it really was 200 yards it was certainly a rifle. But the kid said he turned right around and there he was with the cops. He was waring light summer clothes. No way he could have carried a rifle right into the crowd. You don’t take a 200 yard shut then run as fast as you can to the scene. But the witness could have been wrong.
Okay, fair point. That was only my inference. So what was the point of your comment that: "We are in a civil war and only one side is shooting."
Because I thought inferring that you thought we should "should back" seemed reasonable.
