Charlie Kirk, the influential conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot dead on Wednesday during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah.

The incident has sent shockwaves across the United States, prompting widespread condemnation of political violence.

According to witnesses and video footage circulating on social media, 31-year-old Kirk was addressing a large crowd under a tent in the university’s quad during a “Prove Me Wrong” question-and-answer session when he was shot.

A single gunshot rang out, striking Kirk in the neck while he was responding to a student’s question about mass shootings in America.

Chaos erupted as attendees screamed and fled, with Kirk collapsing and being rushed to a hospital by his security team.

U.S. President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social, confirmed Kirk’s demise despite medical efforts. Thecable
