Just 30 minutes ago, CNN reported an assassination that shook American politics: Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and close ally of former President Donald Trump, was shot right on the campus of the University of Utah while attending an event with students.
Local police immediately sealed off the entire area and deployed special forces to search for the suspect. The identity and motive of the perpetrator have not yet been released, but the FBI quickly joined in to assist in the investigation, showing the seriousness of this incident.
Charlie Kirk is known as one of the most powerful voices in the young conservative movement in the US. He is the founder of the organization Turning Point USA, which regularly organizes speeches and debates on university campuses across the US. Kirk’s presence and tough views have often caused controversy, but also attracted a large number of supporters, especially among young conservatives.
