Charlie Kirk, a pro-Trump activist, was shot during an event at Utah Valley University and later died from his injuries. Graphic videos of the shooting circulated widely on social media and dominated timelines. False early claims that the shooter was in custody were made; the person detained was released and the shooter remains at large. Law enforcement released photos of the suspect after a press conference. Separate clips showed Kirk tossing MAGA hats into the crowd; one video captured a Black man removing a stack of hats from Kirk's booth, tossing one to a crowd member and throwing another as he was chased away. Many posts appended racist captions to that clip.
