Conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has died after being shot at a Utah Valley University event on Wednesday.
Charlie Kirk was one of the most prominent conservative activists in the U.S. and a close ally of President Donald Trump.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Kirk, 31, was speaking at a campus rally on Wednesday afternoon when a gunman opened fire. Campus police confirmed that a single shot was fired at the visiting speaker shortly after 12:10 p.m. local time. He was rushed from the scene by his security team, but later succumbed to his injuries. A suspect was taken into custody.
Videos verified online showed the chaotic moment the shot rang out, sending students fleeing for cover. Witnesses, including former Congressman Jason Chaffetz, described the scene as “shocking,” saying the bullet was aimed directly at Kirk.
The FBI said it is assisting local authorities with the investigation. Political leaders from across the spectrum have condemned the shooting. Vice President JD Vance urged Americans to “say a prayer for Charlie Kirk,” while California Governor Gavin Newsom called the attack “disgusting, vile, and reprehensible.”
Kirk founded Turning Point USA, a conservative youth movement active on hundreds of U.S. campuses, and built a massive following through podcasts and social media. He was considered one of the most influential voices in Donald Trump’s MAGA movement.
