Charlie Kirk, 31, founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot in the neck during a Q\&A at Utah Valley University, leaving his young wife Erika Frantzve, their two children, and his family devastated. The attack occurred as Kirk responded to a question on mass shootings, his final words cut short by gunfire. Witnesses described chaos as students screamed, ducked for cover, and scrambled for exits, while video showed Kirk collapsing under a tent reading “The American Comeback.”
Authorities initially detained a bystander but later confirmed the shooter fired from the Losee Center building, nearly 200 yards away. Concerns arose over inadequate security, as no bag checks or screening were in place.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox condemned the killing, promising accountability. Former President Trump called Kirk “great, even legendary,” and California Governor Gavin Newsom denounced the attack. Kirk is remembered as a passionate activist who built a national movement, leaving behind a grieving family and a shocked nation, reigniting debates on political violence and campus safety.
