Moments before the crack of a gun changed everything, thousands of students had gathered under clear blue skies at an idyllic Utah college to hear from a man considered a rock star in conservative campus politics.

As 31-year-old Charlie Kirk sat under a tent, debating with political opponents taking their turns at a microphone, there were many people gathered on the lawns cheering – and some protesting.

Seconds later, everyone was running in terror.

The activist was struck in the neck by a bullet, fatally wounding him. The episode unfolded as cameras rolled, some showing the killing in gory detail.

A scene which in the US seems to have become typical, but which Kirk frighteningly predicted 11 years ago, through a post on Twitter (today X).

"Did an AR-15 shoot me? That's what it looks like to me," he wrote on June 23, 2014, in a post that is going viral on X, following the September 10 attacks.

The images will be hard to forget – especially for many young conservatives for whom Kirk held celebrity status. The leader of their movement, regardless of the ultimate motive behind his assassination, will now be seen as a martyr to the cause.

Kirk, in the past, had warned of what he called the threat of violence from his critics – of whom he had many, given his provocative style of conservatism.

However, he was willing to travel to college campuses, where politics often lean left, and debate with everyone.

He was an advocate for gun rights and conservative values, an outspoken critic of transgender rights, and a staunch and unwavering supporter of Donald Trump.

His organization Turning Point US played a key role in the voter turnout surge that brought the president back to the White House this year.

The tent where he was shot had the words "proved me wrong" written on it.

He was a hero to young conservative students in particular, meeting them where they were and offering them a movement of their own.
