Charlie Kirk shooter still on the loose after video shows elderly man being dragged away by cops –The gunman remains at large and UVU locked down its campus – spokesman | 10 Sept 2025 | Police have launched an urgent manhunt for the gunman who shot conservative influencer Charlie Kirk at his event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. Kirk was shot in the neck as he began a Q&A with students at the event, with footage sweeping social media showing the commentator falling limp as he was struck. As chaos took over the scene, an elderly man was seen being hauled away by cops while furious witnesses screamed and hurled abuse at him. The arrest came at the same time that officials said a suspect had been taken into custody, however university spokesperson Scott Trotter later said that the man in the video was not believed to be the shooter. Reports suggest that the man was heard remarking on the shooting as he was arrested, and separate footage of the moment showed the elderly man repeatedly urging the crowd to “shoot him.” The gunman remains at large, Trotter said, and UVU locked down its campus as bedlam took over the scene.
