Charlie Kirk, 31, conservative commentator and founder of Turning Point USA, d**d after being shot during a rally at Utah Valley University. Known for sparking heated campus debates, Kirk was on his “American Comeback” tour when the attack happened.
On September 10, an audience member asked Kirk, “Do you know many transgender Americans have been shters over the last 10 years?” He answered, “Too many,” as the crowd applauded. Seconds later, a single gnsht struck his neck. He was rushed to the hospital but dd about 90 minutes later.
Kirk leaves behind his wife, Erika Frantzve, their three-year-old daughter, and 16-month-old son. Emergency dispatch audio revealed confusion as police searched for the suspect, with reports of a person seen on a rooftop near the library.
Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social: “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth… better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me.”
Kirk often defended the Second Amendment, saying in 2023: “You will never live in a society with an armed citizenry and zero gun d**ths. That is nonsense.” The nation mourns the loss of Charlie Kirk, whose life and work left a lasting impact on political activism and youth engagement.
