what was charlie kirk talking about when shot

Charlie Kirk was talking about mass shootings and gun violence when he was shot. During an event at Utah Valley University, he was responding to a question from the audience about the number of transgender Americans who had committed mass shootings over the past decade. Kirk said "Too many," and then debated further questions about the counting of mass shootings including gang violence. Moments later, a gunshot was fired from a rooftop overlooking the area, striking Kirk in the neck and causing him to slump in his chair, bleeding heavily. The shooting happened as he was actively engaged in discussing gun control and mass shootings with the audience at a political event called "The American Comeback Tour".
