Several videos have surfaced showing an event in Orem held at Utah Valley University north of Provo on Wednesday.

Both the Associated Press and BBC have authenticated the videos' authenticity.

In the videos the CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, was seen holding a microphone speaking to a large crowd when a large "bang" is heard.

Kirk reached for his neck with his right hand. The crowd scattered.

A spokesperson for Turning Point USA confirmed that Kirk was shot. "He is in the hospital, and we are praying for him at this time."

Charlie Kirk is one of the biggest conservative influencers in the US today.
