Did Charlie Kirk receive warning of imminent danger before horrific shooting? ‘I warned…he would be 100% killed’
Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and Trump supporter, was shot dead at a university event despite warnings about his safety.
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot dead after a security expert warned him that speaking on college campuses has a “100%”possibility of being assassinated.
Kirk, a key supporter of President Donald Trump and co-founder of the conservative group Turning Point USA, was shot and killed by a single bullet during an outdoor event at Utah Valley University.
Kris Herzog opens up about his warning to Charlie Kirk
This incident takes place in the context of an increasing number of attacks in the US against political personalities from a variety of ideological backgrounds. The owner of the Beverly Hills-based Bodyguard Group, which serves famous customers, Kris Herzog, disclosed that he spoke with Kirk on March 6 regarding his safety and gave him a serious warning.
Herzog allegedly warned Kirk during a conversation at California State University that he would “100% be killed at one of his upcoming university speaking events” unless he took significant safety measures, the Express reported.
Kirk apparently listened to some of the suggestions, but he didn't get in touch with Herzog again. “My prediction of his murder has come true,” Herzog told the Daily Mail, adding, “sadly he never got back to me.”

‘His security was not even close to…’
Kirk's growing political power and inadequate security precautions worried Herzog and his staff. He said: “Everyone in my group felt that his security was not even close to what it should be and he was in grave danger of being shot and killed at one of his upcoming events.”
Herzog, according to the Mirror, who worked with well-known people like Kim Kardashian, urged Kirk to use bulletproof glass barriers for protection and to use metal detectors to check everybody within a 700-meter radius.
“I told him that a sniper would probably go for a headshot, which means it was of critical importance to have the ballistic glass,” Herzog stated.
Trump dubbed Kirk “a martyr for truth and freedom” following his murder. Despite his criticism of the “demonizing” of political opponents in the US, he claimed that the vocabulary of the “radical left” was “directly responsible.”
