A chilling warning was reportedly issued to Charlie Kirk before he was shot dead on a university campus in Utah.

The right-wing activist and founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated on Wednesday evening (September 10), on a university campus in Utah.

Kirk founded Turning Point USA, an organization that tours universities to debate with college students, when he was 18 years old.

But it was at one of these very events that Kirk lost his life earlier this week.

The gunman accused of killing the 31-year-old has been identified as Tyler Robinson.

Robinson, 22, was named as the alleged assassin of Kirk.

Footage of the brutal attack has circulated on X, formerly Twitter, depicting the moment a loud bang was heard.

Kirk was violently struck in the neck before collapsing in his chair, and blood was seen pouring from the wound.

President Trump noted that Kirk was ‘like a son’ to him, adding that he did not watch the video of the shooting, in an attempt to remember him in the way he wished.

Kirk was rushed to a local hospital following the violent shooting, but it was later confirmed by President Trump that the gunshot was fatal.

In a statement, he said: “The great, and even legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead.

“No one understood or had the heart of the youth in the United States of America better than Charlie.

“He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us.

“Melania and my sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family.

“Charlie, we love you!”

Thousands of students watched on as the horrifying incident unfolded, but also in attendance at the event was Kirk’s wife, Erika Lane, 36, and their two young children.

They witnessed the father-of-two utter his final words, before his security team rushed in an unsuccessful attempt to save his life.

But it has now been reported that a security expert sent Kirk a chilling warning before the shooting.

Kris Herzog, a security expert who works with high-profile clients, claims that he spoke with Kirk on March 6 to discuss his safety at the college debating events.

During an alleged conversation with him at California State University, the Mirror reports that he gave Kirk a stark warning.

The expert supposedly warned the activist that he would ‘100% be killed at one of his upcoming university speaking events,’ unless he took serious precautions.

Herzog added: “Sadly, he never got back to me, and now my prediction of his murder has come true.

“Everyone in my group felt that his security was not even close to what it should be, and he was in grave danger of being shot and killed at one of his upcoming events.”
