29-year-old UVU mathematics student Hunter Kozak set out to prove to Kirk how peaceful transgender people are — just before his question was followed by the gunshot that ended Kirk’s life.
“The point I was trying to make is how peaceful the left was (long pause) right before he got shot,” Kozak said in a video statement.
Speaking with Andrew Callaghan from Channel 5, Kozak revealed that he planned to press Kirk with: “Did you run a statistical analysis on that?” — challenging him to provide the burden of proof that trans shooters make up “too many” mass shootings once gang violence is excluded.
