Conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah on Sept. 10.
Livestream video of the event showed crowds of people running from the university’s courtyard where Kirk, 31, was holding a speaking event when the shooting occurred.
The university said the campus is closed and classes are canceled until further notice. "Police are investigating. Leave campus immediately. Follow police instructions," the school said in a post on X.
The university also said a suspect had been taken into custody as of 1:15 MT. Campus police declined to comment when reached by USA TODAY. But Scott Trotter, a university spokesman, told the New York Times police have determined the person who was taken into custody was not the shooter.
