The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office confirmed via X (formerly Twitter) at approximately 8:45 PM UTC that three people from Evergreen High School were transported to the hospital, all in critical condition. This follows earlier reports from the Sheriff's Office confirming at least two students were shot and en route to the hospital around 7:47 PM UTC. Eyewitness accounts from the Utah Valley University event described panic after shots were fired, with one witness reporting seeing blood on Kirk's neck. The circumstances of Kirk's shooting and the perpetrator's identity remained unclear as of the latest update. Reports on X, formerly Twitter, from users @AndrewPiskadlo and @BasedMikeLee corroborated that shots were fired at the Orem event. NBC Denver had previously reported that three students were in critical condition following the shooting at Evergreen High School. The Sheriff's Office had also issued an urgent alert advising the public to avoid the school as it was an active scene, and a reunification point was to be announced.
