Fact check: Did an MSNBC Guestsay that Charlie Kirk Might've Been Shot By an Overly Excited Supporter?

Checked on September 10, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses from various sources, including [1], [2], [3], [3], [2], [4], [5], [6], and [7], all conclude that there is no mention of an MSNBC guest suggesting Charlie Kirk might have been shot by an overly excited supporter [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. The sources primarily report on the shooting incident at Utah Valley University, providing updates on the situation, witness accounts, and information on Charlie Kirk's background and the investigation [1] [2] [3]. Key points from the analyses include the lack of evidence supporting the claim about the MSNBC guest and the focus on reporting the facts of the shooting incident [3] [2] [4] [5] [6] [7].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some important context missing from the original statement is the actual circumstances surrounding the shooting incident, which are reported in detail by sources such as [1], [2], and [3]. Alternative viewpoints that could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the situation include:

  • The official investigation findings, which are not mentioned in the analyses [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
  • Statements from witnesses or individuals present at the event, as reported by sources like [2] and [7]
  • Information on the perpetrator and their motives, which is not discussed in the provided analyses [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

These additional perspectives could help clarify the events surrounding the shooting and provide a more nuanced understanding of the situation [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may contain potential misinformation as it claims an MSNBC guest suggested Charlie Kirk might have been shot by an overly excited supporter, which is not supported by any of the provided analyses [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. This inaccuracy could be due to a misinterpretation or misrepresentation of information, and it may benefit those who seek to create confusion or promote a particular narrative [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. Additionally, the lack of evidence supporting the claim may indicate bias in the original statement, as it appears to be an unsubstantiated assertion [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7].
