Audience member: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?
Kirk: Too many.
Audience member: Okay, well—[crowd cheers]—it's five, okay. Now, five is a lot, right? I'll give you some credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?
Kirk: Counting or not counting gang violence?
Audience member: Great— [shot]

Former Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz, [...] told the outlet he believed it was “no coincidence” Kirk was shot during the question about transgender mass shootings[.]

I will take an expansive definition of "transgender" for this question, including nonbinary people and anyone else who's significantly gender non-conforming. ("Significant" is a relevant word here; JD Vance doesn't count just because he wears eyeliner.) Whether they identify with the word "transgender" is irrelevant.

People who are in the process of detransitioning, or on the fence, still count. People who were trans years ago and present completely cis now do not count.

if you believe the remarks on transgender people were causal, wouldn’t that imply the killer was on the fence on whether to shoot until that moment?

For me, the kicker is that Kirk was being asked about transgender shooters when he was shot. If the bullet casings rumor is true, then it follows that the timing of the shooting may not have been coincidental.

@thepurplebull The timing is dramatic in retrospect (like the Jezebel article!), but I’m skeptical that someone competent enough to escape so far would take the risk of delaying a clear shot for that reason. Possible clarifying facts: whether the rooftop was within clear listening distance or whether the shooter needn’t have waited very long before the question was asked.

Would the Annunciation shooting have resolved yes? The shooter there was a detransitioner.

@Marnix Yes

We are asking for the public's help identifying this person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.

sold Ṁ34 YES

@Simon74fe I mean even if ur a trans woman ur gonna dress up as man (if u can pass as one) so u have an easier time evading police once u escape the scene
