Police have launched an urgent manhunt for the gunman who shot conservative influencer Charlie Kirk at his event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
Kirk was shot in the neck as he began a Q&A with students at the event, with footage sweeping social media showing the commentator falling limp as he was struck.
As chaos took over the scene, an elderly man was seen being hauled away by cops while furious witnesses screamed and hurled abuse at him.
'How dare you, you f***ing monster!' one yelled as the man was walked away with his trousers down. The arrest came at the same time that officials said a suspect had been taken into custody, however university spokeserson Scott Trotter later said that the man in the video was not believed to be the shooter.
The gunman remains at large, Trotter said, and UVU locked down its campus as bedlam took over the scene.
UVU officials said the shot was fired from the top of the Losee Center, about 200 feet 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.

If an organized group planning an open-air assassination wanted to protect the actual assassin ... its leadership might choose to have several people “turn themselves in” ... to distract the police while the assassin fled the scene.
OK - this makes no sense. If this is not true get rid of this thread. This is how conspiracy theories start.
Who would want him dead? I’m afraid I don’t know much about Charlie. Was he planning on running for office?
There were literally thousands of people at that rally.
which means thousands of iPhone cameras.
the perp will not be on the loose for long.
I hope so much that this time the UK MEDIA is right and that Kirk is alive
The FBI needs to check all RAT donor’s bank accounts. Which one just dished out a lot of money for a hit.
He told the truth, too publicly and too often. Jesus said they will do the same to us as they did to Him, if they can.
His “thing” was going to college campuses and engaging publicly in debate with anybody on any topic. He was an absolute master of destroying leftist arguments, promoting the Christian faith, and explaining the virtues of political liberty.
? Nothing makes sense right now but why is the thought that someone on top of building took the shot a “conspiracy “?
The headline is false. Stop spreading misinformation UK Mail.
Perp it not on the lose. Read the article.
If not for him, Trump probably would not have won in November. That’s why they want him dead.
The left
Because they have the shooter. Secondly, no one is saying anything about a roof.
I did not post this thread.
Check the FBI guys.
The AP is reporting that the man in custody is NOT the shooter.
Fox News reported a while back that the shot came from a building two-hundred yards away. I thought it might have been BS when they marched that boomer out with his pants around his ankles, but maybe there is some fact to it.
It’s now open season.
No bag limits.
Act accordingly.
