President Donald Trump said that no one touched the hearts of American youth more than Charlie Kirk, 31, the co-founder and CEO of Turning Point USA who was shot dead Wednesday at an event in Utah.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”
Bystanders saw Kirk, 31, get shot near his neck during a Q&A with students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. A video captured at the event showed Kirk bleeding heavily from an apparent gunshot wound near his neck.
