Israeli and pro-Israeli U.S. Jews are among those expressing concern after Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old conservative activist who founded Turning Point USA and emerged as a leading voice of the pro-Trump right, was shot Wednesday during an appearance in Utah.

The incident occurred around midday as Kirk launched into remarks for his “American Comeback” campus tour at Utah Valley University in Orem. Video from the scene shows a single gunshot striking Kirk in the head or neck, causing panic among attendees. He was rushed to a nearby hospital. As of Wednesday afternoon, his condition remained unclear.

Utah Valley University officials confirmed that a suspect was taken into custody and the campus briefly went into lockdown. The FBI said it was assisting in the investigation.
