“WE. ARE. SO. BACK. Utah Valley University is FIRED UP and READY for the first stop back on the American Comeback Tour,” he had posted. The post has since been deleted.
Now, authorities are trying to find out if the shooter had also seen the tweet and had found that Kirk was on campus based on it.
The idea of uncertainty of life comes to haunt in such examples, where someone makes a social media post moments before the tragedy strikes.
After the shooting, several social media users took a screenshot of the post and circulated it. Some have described the post as chilling, eerie, and prophetic.
Experts have said that many times, people deal with shock in different ways, and this could be one of those examples where students in front of him just wanted to remember the fragility of life.
The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn’t clear (although he’s probably mentally unstable–duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.

Amid this political storm, Kirk’s final tweet has become a flashpoint. Supporters are framing it as evidence of his resilience and voice, while skeptics argue that his followers are reading too much into the post.
