More than 350 People Attend Candlelight Vigil in Pompey for Charlie Kirk

The assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radicalized left-wing assailant has intensified national political polarization and prompted debates on free speech and political violence.

  • On September 10, Charlie Kirk, far-right political activist and Turning Point USA co-founder, was shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University; 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson surrendered and faces murder charges.
  • As a polarising organizer, Charlie Kirk's activism as Turning Point USA co-founder intensified divisions, and President Donald Trump blamed the radical left before the accused shooter was identified.
  • A September 21 memorial at State Farm Stadium drew thousands, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk, amid suspensions and a five-day pause of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
  • On Oct. 14, a candlelight vigil is scheduled at the Florida Capitol, with more than 300 attendees confirmed and about 900 interested on the Vigil Facebook page from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
  • Commentator Candace Owens pushed the Egyptian Air Force plane theory, calling the assassination a "military operation," but critics cited contradictory evidence and Owens faces lawsuits from Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron.
