US EditionUNL Students React to Charlie Kirk's Killing: 'Heartbreak, Emotion' and What to Do Next
President Trump highlighted ongoing efforts to find Charlie Kirk's shooter and emphasized a nonviolent public reaction to the incident, noting Kirk's advocacy for peace.
- On Wednesday, Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA founder aged 31, was shot and killed on a college campus in Utah, and President Donald Trump said he and Erika Kirk spoke at length Thursday with progress expected to find the shooter.
- In an Oval Office address, Trump declared Kirk `a martyr for truth and freedom` and blamed `radical left political violence`, while ordering flags on federal buildings at half-mast until Sunday.
- The shooter remains at large, investigators say little is publicly known about the suspect or motive, and Kirk leaves behind a wife and two young children.
- Conservative activists called for infiltration and arrests of left-wing groups on X, and Trump hinted at targeting those he blames for the atrocity, risking politicising the killing.
- Experts note that far-right extremists have accounted for most domestic terrorism since the 1990s, and critics say framing political violence as solely a left-wing problem is inaccurate.
