Hunter Kozak, the university student at the University of Utah Valley who asked Charlie Kirk a question before he was shot, says he was not worried about his own life at that time, but described what he witnessed as “visceral.”
Kozak told ABC News that “I wasn’t worried about my life. It was so visceral what I saw in front of me.”
From Kirk’s shots death on Wednesday, Kozak says that since then he approached the police and that the FBI has been interrogated.
Upon arriving at the event approximately half an hour before he began, Kozak says he knew I wanted to ask Kirk a question and had some different prepared themes. When he arrived at the event, he told a staff member that I did not agree with Kirk and had a question for him.
It was subsequently aimed at a specific area where the people who had questions were waiting. Kozak says that the staff arose asking the group for their questions and, when they were informed that they liked his question, they told him that he would be the second on the podium.
When Kozak arrived at the microphone, he says he was ordered not to touch him and estimates that he was about 5 to 10 feet away from Kirk.
Then the shot sounded.

Kozak says that when he heard the shot, he thought the gun was at five feet behind his head, but that he was very aware and in control. He says that he immediately acknowledged that this was a possible attempt to murder and that he needed to get to the ground and find his wife, and added that he knew it was not a goal, but that he needed to leave the neighborhood.
After the shooting, Kozak said there were police officers throughout the campus and when he saw a notes, he approached him to give his contact information, informing the officer who was the person who was the last time he asked Kirk a question and that his wife had been recording a video, which he later sent to the authorities.
During the press conference of Utah’s governor on Thursday, Kozak says that a journalist asked him about the man who asked the final question, and that the journalist said he should be interrogated, which led Kozak to go to the police, again.
Since then, his father -in -law hired him and the FBI interrogated him, Kozak said.
“The atmosphere I got was that they were not really looking for me,” Kozak told ABC News, although he refused to go into details in case I could obstruct the investigation.
Kozak, a Tiktok content manufacturer who is the father of two children, says he is considered politically involved and progressive, but the comments he has been receiving in his videos and conspiracy theorists after Kirk’s death have frustrated him.
Kozak’s approach says, is to have continuous political conversations, something that he thinks he had in common with Kirk.
