Fact check: At what time was Charlie Kirk shot?

Checked on September 18, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The original statement inquires about the time Charlie Kirk was shot. According to the analysis from [1], Charlie Kirk was shot at 12:23 p.m. MT on Wednesday, September 11, while answering audience questions at Utah Valley University [1]. However, the analyses from [2] and [3] do not provide a specific time for the shooting, but they both confirm that the incident occurred on September 10 [2] [3]. This discrepancy raises questions about the accuracy of the date and time of the shooting. The analysis from [1] provides a specific time but differs in the date, stating September 11, whereas [2] and [3] agree on September 10 without providing a time [1] [2] [3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Key details that are missing or inconsistent across the analyses include the exact date and time of the shooting. While [1] offers a precise time, it contradicts the dates provided by [2] and [3] [1] [2] [3]. Additionally, the circumstances surrounding the shooting, such as the events leading up to it and the immediate aftermath, are not uniformly described across the sources. For instance, [1] mentions Charlie Kirk was answering audience questions at Utah Valley University, but [2] and [3] do not provide such specific context about the location or the activities at the time of the shooting [1]. Understanding these aspects could provide a clearer picture of what happened. The sources also mention a suspect and potential charges, indicating a legal process is underway, but the focus of the inquiry is on the time of the shooting [2] [3].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement asks for the time Charlie Kirk was shot without specifying a date or context, which might imply that the date is already known or agreed upon [1] [2] [3]. However, the analyses reveal a discrepancy in the reported date of the incident, with [1] stating September 11 and [2] and [3] stating September 10 [1] [2] [3]. This discrepancy could lead to confusion or misinformation about the events surrounding Charlie Kirk's shooting. The sources [2] and [3] benefit from emphasizing the charges and the legal process against the suspect, potentially downplaying the importance of the exact timing of the shooting [2] [3]. In contrast, [1] provides a detailed timeline, which could be beneficial for understanding the sequence of events but may also be subject to scrutiny due to the discrepancy in the date [1].
