Charlie Kirk, the CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, is in critical condition at a hospital after being shot Wednesday at a Utah event, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. A video captured at the event showed Kirk bleeding heavily from an apparent gunshot wound near his neck. Officials say a suspect is in custody. Videos posted to social media show Kirk speaking into a handheld microphone while sitting under a white tent emblazoned with the slogan "The American Comeback" and "Prove Me Wrong." A single shot rings out and Kirk can be seen reaching for his neck with his right hand.
