Script:
Footage from Utah Valley University captures a moment of panic as attendees at Charlie Kirk’s rally are seen crouching and moving quickly in response to the shooting that took place on September 10, 2025. The scene reflects the sudden chaos and fear sparked by the attack on the 31-year-old conservative commentator during his “American Comeback” tour.

The incident adds to a troubling trend of political violence in the United States. In recent months and years, high-profile figures across the political and business spectrum have been targeted, including the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in July 2025 and the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024.

Kirk’s death has drawn widespread condemnation from political leaders on both sides, with calls for unity against acts of violence. The event underscores the growing risks facing public figures and the urgent debate over security at political gatherings in an increasingly polarized climate.
