Video obtained by Fox News Digital shows the moments before Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Kirk was killed on Wednesday afternoon during a campus event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
A representative from the university informed Fox News Digital that the shooting incident occurred around 12:20 p.m. The founder of TPUSA was urgently transported to a nearby medical facility in critical condition following the shooting. Tragically, he passed away in the hospital.
While the FBI previously said a subject was in custody, the individual was later released after interrogation.

“Initially, when I heard the sounds, I assumed it was a firecracker. But after detecting a faint odor of gunpowder, I realized it wasn’t,” stated Lino. “I assisted in evacuating people from the area.”
“[Kirk] loves what he does, and we love him for it,” Lino said.
Kirk was scheduled to speak at Utah Valley University on Wednesday for his “American Comeback Tour,” which drew protests from some student groups.
