The investigation into conservative pundit Charlie Kirk’s murder on Wednesday, September 10, is ongoing as the Utah Valley University community, and the entire country, continues to process the day’s tragic events.
Kirk, who was 31, was shot and killed while speaking at an event at the university. Video shared on social media showed a bullet appear to strike the Turning Point USA founder in the neck as he was answering a question from the crowd related to gun violence. The father-of-two was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died shortly after.
“It’s with a heavy heart that we, the Turning Point USA leadership team, write to notify you that early this afternoon, Charlie went to his eternal reward with Jesus Christ in Heaven,” read a statement from Turning Point, released on Wednesday
