Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a key ally of President Donald Trump, was fatally shot at Utah Valley University. Governor Spencer Cox called this incident a “political assassination.” The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was speaking at a debate when a single shot from a rooftop ended his life. This sparked widespread grief and outrage.

Kirk was addressing gun violence questions at his “American Comeback Tour” event when the shot struck. Videos show him under a tent with “Prove Me Wrong” signage. He reacted as blood gushed from his neck. Spectators screamed as chaos erupted. No suspect was in custody by late Wednesday. However, a person of interest was briefly detained and released, per a law enforcement source cited by AP.

Utah Valley University evacuated the campus and cancelled classes. Armed police searched nearby areas, showing photos to residents to identify the shooter, described as wearing dark clothing.

President Trump mourned Kirk on social media, calling him “Great, and even Legendary.” He later labeled him a “martyr for truth” in a White House video, blaming “radical left” rhetoric. Additionally, he ordered flags lowered. Bipartisan leaders, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, condemned the violence. Newsom called it “disgusting” and Giffords expressed sympathy for Kirk’s family.

President Trump shares a message on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Former congressman Jason Chaffetz, present at the event, described the shot as “close” on Fox News, noting limited security.

The event faced backlash, with a petition of nearly 1,000 signatures urging the university to bar Kirk due to his polarizing views. However, the university defended his appearance, citing free speech. Kirk’s death adds to a wave of political violence in the US, including attacks on a Minnesota lawmaker, a Colorado parade, and Trump himself in 2024.

Kirk’s assassination highlights the growing threat of political violence across ideologies. His role in rallying young conservatives made him a prominent figure. His loss raises urgent questions about safety and discourse. The incident may fuel debates on free speech and campus events.
