Conservative Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was shot in the neck during a student Q&A event at Utah campus in Orem, Utah, on September 10. Authorities confirmed that a suspect was taken into custody at 1:15 p.m. MT.
The shocking attack on one of America’s most outspoken conservative voices immediately sparked condemnation across the political spectrum, with many warning that rising hostility toward conservatives is fueling dangerous violence.
President Donald Trump responded quickly on Truth Social, writing: “We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!”
