College Students React to Killing of Conservative Activist Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who established Turning Point USA, was fatally wounded by gunfire on Wednesday while delivering a speech at an outdoor gathering at Utah Valley University.
The shooting occurred amid a politically charged atmosphere, with FBI special agent Robert Bohls leading an ongoing manhunt for a college-age suspect.
Kirk was known for promoting conservative politics on campuses, inspiring millions and sparking both support and criticism among students and activists.
President Trump condemned the shooting as a brutal act of assassination and announced plans to honor Kirk with the Medal of Freedom after his death, while the nation both grieved and engaged in discussions about the increasing instances of political violence.
Calls for reducing heated rhetoric came from leaders on both sides, emphasizing that political violence must not be part of public discourse to ensure safety in democratic engagement.
