Conservative activist Charlie Kirk (age 31) has died after being shot during an event at Utah Valley University. The incident happened just after noon when a gunman fired from a nearby building, striking Kirk in the neck as he addressed students.
Below is the extremely graphic video (watch at your own risk):
Below are the updated reactions from the wrestling world:
Ken Shamrock: Charlie Kirk is dead for speaking his views & debating others views. Let that sink in.
Paul Roma: Charlie Kirk has died but all that he has done for our country will live on. People should be allowed to speak without the fear of being harmed. Please Pray for Charlie and his family.
Missy Leslie (wife of Brutus Beefcake): Very sad to hear of the assassination of Charlie Kirk!!!! Rest in Peace Charlie. Will keep your wife & children in my eternal prayers!
Nickla Roberts (aka Baby Doll): Imagine being shot because you tell people abortions kill human babies.
Kizarny: RIP Charlie Kirk… I hope all the weaklings, cowards and a$$holes are happy that the world is now a lesser place… Way to go idiots… You f**kin sicken me.
Rory McAlister (one half of ex-WWE tag team The Highlanders): Charlie Kirk was a debater, whether you liked him or not, he engaged everyone trying to find understanding and common ground. I actually shared a lot of his beliefs and disagreed with some, but I respected the man he was and how he carried himself. When did the left become the side of intolerance, violence, promoters of perpetual war and hate? I’m watching some of them celebrate this right now. Disgustingly sad. Rest in peace Charlie Kirk. You did not deserve this at all. Unfortunately they proved your point.
Aalyah Mysterio (Rey Mysterio’s daughter):
Mya Lesnar (Brock Lesnar’s daughter):
Conrad Thompson: Man, this is just awful. We gotta be better, together, somehow. I don’t know how, but I know this ain’t it.
Eva Marie: So sad RIP @charliekirk11
Pat McAfee: Charlie Kirk, a name synonymous with having the courage to speak what you believe and seek/welcome conversations with those whom you disagree with.
I’m not a political person but I am a proud American citizen and today was startling, saddening, and maddening all at the same time.. I’ve realized that I’m a bit naive to how crazy it all has become but watching a man get hunted and slayed in broad daylight because of his opinions made me disgusted and devastated.
This can’t be what we actually are or become as a country.. I believe that the good people will always outnumber the evil people but damn… today was an alarming day in our country’s history.
2 kids lost a dad.. a wife lost a husband.. and societal discourse lost a voice.
RIP @charliekirk11.. I send my prayers, thoughts, and love to his family and friends.
