Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, just minutes after sharing a haunting final post on X. In it, he condemned the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a young refugee killed in North Carolina, urging political accountability. Former President Donald Trump confirmed Kirk’s death on Truth Social, calling him “great, legendary” and praising his influence on America’s youth. Kirk, leader of Turning Point USA, collapsed after being struck in the neck, as shocking footage showed chaos erupting in the packed venue. The Justice Department has launched an investigation, labeling it a senseless act of violence.
