Frank Turek, Charlie’s close friend, mentor, and a man of God, shared a firsthand account of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Turek described the tragic events during his “Cross Examined” podcast on Tuesday.
On Stage With Kirk
Turek was on stage at Utah Valley University when the shot rang out.
He initially thought the “pop” came from something nearby.

Only moments later did he realize it was a rifle firing.
He watched Kirk fall and saw the security team respond immediately.
Turek then sought cover as chaos broke out in the auditorium.
He recalled the frantic rush to get Kirk into a waiting SUV.
Turek jumped into the back of the vehicle as it sped off.
