US EditionHawaii Politicians React to Assassination of Charlie Kirk
Charlie Kirk, 31, was fatally shot at Utah Valley University during a Q&A; a suspect is in custody, prompting widespread political condemnation of violence, officials said.
- At Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was shot during a campus event, and a suspect was in custody, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said.
- As a founder of Turning Point USA, Kirk had become a leading conservative voice on campuses since 2012, and his killing risks deepening political divisions amid already raw public rhetoric.
- At Dream City Church, Phoenix, Arizona, Pastor Luke Barnett said `He is a lover of Jesus Christ. Charlie loved the Lord, and he had a personal walk with Jesus. And I want to say I've been so motivated by him because he is a man who lives his faith unashamedly,` and `You witnessed a really good man, a moral man... a good man died,` Barnett said, in front of about 3,000 people.
- Political leaders responded by calling for mourning; Vice President JD Vance asked for prayers with `Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord`, and governors ordered flags lowered through Sunday.
- Advocates called for immediate gun reforms, urging lawmakers considering federal assault weapons ban and safe-storage laws, while University of Chicago survey findings revealed nearly 17% of U.S. adults justify force.
