A memorial service for conservative commentator Charlie Kirk is underway in Glendale, Arizona. Kirk was fatally shot during a speaking engagement at a university in Utah. The service is taking place at State Farm Stadium, where several notable figures are expected to speak.

Among those addressing the crowd are U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Kirk's widow, Erika. Other prominent figures from American conservative politics are also in attendance. High-profile guests, including Elon Musk, have joined the gathering to honor Kirk's legacy.

At 31 years old, Kirk was a significant voice in American conservatism, particularly known for his efforts to engage younger audiences through social media. His approach resonated with many, making him a well-known figure in political discussions.

Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with aggravated murder in connection with Kirk's death. The incident has sparked widespread reactions, including a statement from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. He described the day as a "very sad occasion for many Americans and, indeed, people who followed Charlie Kirk right around the world."

Albanese expressed condolences, saying, "The memorial is being held in Arizona and our thoughts are with all those who love Charlie and his family. There's no place for political violence here or anywhere else in the world. This is a tragedy and our thoughts are with all those who will be grieving today."

The service reflects the impact Kirk had on his supporters and the broader political landscape.
