Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday while addressing students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He was 31 years old. During the event, he was reportedly struck in the neck, leading to his death, as confirmed by a spokesperson. The shooter’s identity remains unclear, and no additional victims were reported.
Kirk was a known ally of former President Donald Trump, who expressed deep sorrow over his passing on Truth Social, describing Kirk as “Great, and even Legendary.” He extended condolences to Kirk’s wife, Erika, and their two children. The sentiment was echoed by politicians across the spectrum, including Utah Governor Spencer Cox, who assured that justice would be served, and FBI Director Kash Patel, who pledged agency support for the investigation.
Vice President J.D. Vance called for a moment of prayer for Kirk in the House of Representatives, where discussions of gun control erupted. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised Kirk as an eloquent truth-teller, while former President Joe Biden and other officials condemned the violence, emphasizing its unacceptable nature in American society. Governors from both parties similarly expressed outrage, with California’s Governor Gavin Newsom labeling the act as “disgusting” and urging a collective response against political violence. The situation continues to develop.
