The hunt is on for the person responsible for the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk, a conservative commentator and founder of Turning Point USA. At 31 years old, Kirk was fatally shot in the neck during a rally at Utah Valley University. Authorities are searching for a sniper dressed in black who was seen fleeing a rooftop shortly after the fatal shot. Kirk, a married father of two, was addressing a crowd of around 3,000 people when the attack happened.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox called the event a “political assassination” and gave a clear warning to the suspect: “We will find you, prosecute you, and hold you accountable to the fullest extent of the law.” He also reminded everyone that the death penalty remains a legal option. Despite arrests and investigations, no suspects connected to the shooting have yet been identified. President Donald Trump publicly mourned Kirk’s death, emphasizing his importance to American youth and conservative politics.
