US conservative figure and MAGA supporter that engages with college students at campuses has been shot dead by a shooter at a college campus event.
Shocking news since I have seen a fair few of Kirk’s videos. I didn’t like the guy but this was horrific. I also saw the video and it was horrible, wouldn’t recommend it. He was shot in neck and there was a lot of blood.

Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and close ally of President Donald Trump who played an influential role in rallying young Republican voters, was shot and killed Wednesday at a Utah college event in what the governor called a political assassination carried out from a rooftop. A person of interest was in custody, officials said.
“This is a dark day for our state. It’s a tragic day for our nation,” said Utah Gov. Spencer Cox. “I want to be very clear this is a political assassination.”
Authorities did not immediately identify the person in custody, a motive or any criminal charges, but the circumstances of the shooting drew renewed attention to an escalating threat of political violence in the United States that in the last several years has cut across the ideological spectrum. The FBI, which investigates such acts, was helping lead the inquiry, though officials said at this point they had no reason to believe a second person was involved.
