Conservative Trump Ally Charlie Kirk Assassinated in Utah

Conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot dead during a university event in Utah, shocking the political landscape.

Video footage captured the moment a single shot struck him in the neck, sending the audience into panic as security rushed him away.

President Trump quickly confirmed Kirk’s assassination, mourning him as a “great” and “legendary” figure in the conservative movement.

Confusion surrounded the incident after the university denied earlier reports that a suspect was in custody.

Kirk played a pivotal role in energizing young conservative voters, building Turning Point USA into the largest youth conservative organization in the country, and drawing massive crowds at college campuses nationwide.

His killing leaves a deep void in Trump’s political network and raises new questions about security at high-profile political events.
