Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative political activist in the United States, has been shot dead during an event at a university in the state of Utah.
Kirk, 31, was widely recognized for his outspoken role in supporting former U.S. President Donald Trump’s election campaigns and for organizing open debates at American universities. His work had earned him significant public attention, particularly among young conservatives.
Following the assassination, former President Donald Trump expressed deep sorrow over the loss, describing Kirk as a courageous advocate for conservative values. Reports indicate that Trump also ordered flags across the United States to be flown at half-mast until 6:00 p.m. on Sunday in honor of Kirk’s memory.
Authorities have not yet revealed detailed information about the shooting. However, U.S. intelligence agencies have launched an investigation into the incident.
