Conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, 31, was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10. A single sniper-style shot struck him in the neck, causing chaos as the campus went into lockdown.
Authorities initially detained a person of interest but later released them, saying no suspect has been charged. Officials warn against unverified online claims as the FBI and ATF assist in the probe.
President Trump mourned Kirk as “great” and “legendary,” ordering US flags at half-staff. Utah Governor Spencer Cox condemned the attack as a “political assassination.” Vigils were held in Orem, while investigators continue to track leads on the shooter, motive, and possible security failures.
