+6 Conservative activist Charlie Kirk assassinated at Utah university; shooter still at large The conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been shot and killed at a Utah college event in an act that the state’s governor is calling a “political assassination.” Authorities say the close ally of President Donald Trump was killed with a single shot fired from a rooftop Wednesday. Whoever fired the gun then slipped away amid the chaos of screams and students fleeing the Utah Valley University campus. Federal, state and local authorities were still searching for the unidentified shooter early Thursday and working what they called “multiple active crime scenes.” Trump praised the 31-year-old co-founder and CEO of the Arizona-based youth organization Turning Point USA as “Great, and even Legendary.”
