Kirk had recently been traveling to multiple college campuses to debate a range of political topics with students as part of his American Comeback Tour.
Videos of the alleged shooting surfaced online and Kirk was seen sitting on a stool before he was jerked backwards and blood began to gush out of a wound in his neck. The footage showed attendees screaming Kirk’s name before running for safety.
This is a breaking news situation with updates forthcoming.
