A disturbing video has surfaced showing a man celebrating in the immediate aftermath of the fatal shooting of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Wednesday at Utah Valley University.
The Footage
The clip, ripped from live TV feeds and widely shared online, shows a bearded man with long hair wearing a black T-shirt and backwards baseball cap.
While panicked spectators dropped to the ground after the shot rang out, the man remained standing, pumping his fists and appearing to cheer.
He then looked backward in the apparent direction from which the fatal bullet was fired.
“This guy happens to know where the shooter was and is looking back, cheering him on after the lifeless body of Charlie Kirk has fallen to the ground,” one user wrote on X.
