“He took a first question, which was a religious question. And then he got to the second question, which was about 30 minutes into his presentation, 2:30 local time, and the question was about transgender shooters, mass killing, versus people that were transgender, and when that happened, when that question came out, you know, going to have the interaction, one-shot,” Chaffetz said. “I was watching Charlie. I can’t say that I saw blood. I can’t say that I saw him get hit, but I did see him fall immediately backwards into his left. And I can just hope and pray that somehow he survives that.”

Kirk’s condition is unknown as of this writing.
