EDITED TO ADD:

1. Yeah that simply wasn't survivable.

6. I just saw a video from maybe 30 feet. I'M POSTING IT.

A lot of blood instantly. From his neck. A lot.

[joshcryer]

7. It's been posted a few times already.

Be careful to give a graphic image warning it is very traumatizing. He also death poses and immediately goes to agonal breathing. I knew he was dead as soon as that happened. Fortunately for him he did not likely expereince much pain.

13. I haven't seen it. Was he shot in his throat or the side of his neck?

[underpants]

14. Side. Lots of blood immediately. I think he died pretty quickly

They just took time to announce it.

[BigmanPigman]

18. I've seen real videos of various

soldiers, civilians, just about anyone and some time people who are shot in the neck don't die and leave the hospital after a few days. I guess it varies and other factors may be involved.

[underpants]

22. I guess so.

[democratsruletheday]

2. Really?

Meh.....

[Nimble_Idea]

3. yikes

[Liberal In Texas]

4. A shot to the neck.

No matter how fast he was attended to is probably fatal.

[multigraincracker]

20. Carotid Artery?

[efhmc]

5. Also heard that.

[jmowreader]

8. I checked the Deseret News' website

http://www.deseret.com

The first thing you see on their site is "Charlie Kirk shot." They're still reporting him as "condition unknown."

[eppur_se_muova]

9. Well, the title of that tour was portentious enough. nt

[maxsolomon]

10. Other stories saying he made it into surgery?

Time will tell.

[Justice Brandeis]

11. Reminds me of the Gabby Giffords shooting when she was reported alive in some news outlets and dead in others

There was a whole episode of the old show The Newsroom about this dilemma for the media.

[calguy]

12. I wouldn't believe anything regarding his condition until announced on major networks

[demmiblue]

15. Yeah, you're probably right... I think I will delete my thread. n/t

Never mind, see below.

[ananda]

16. Will he be made into a martyr?

I suspect he will, and of course
it's a great distraction from Epstein.

[demmiblue]

17. UPDATE: Trump just announced his death on Truth Social.

[Wiz Imp]

19. It's probably true, but Trump is definitely not a reliable source.

[Dulcinea]

21. ABC News is reporting that he's dead.

No link, husband has the TV on.
