Utah governor on Kirk assassination: ‘Every time I close my eyes, that’s what I see’

On September 10, Charlie Kirk, 31, conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot in the neck and killed during an appearance at Utah Valley University.
The governor said Kirk helped mobilize young conservatives for Trump, noting his pivotal role in engaging millions through Turning Point USA and outreach focused on youth direction.
Authorities identified and charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with murder and related offenses after his arrest; the incident drew national attention and reactions.
The governor said the memory keeps replaying and called for an end to violence, recalling he felt physically sick informing President Donald Trump, urging people to stop shooting each other.
Family members described Kirk's death as a profound personal loss, saying the country lost a devoted husband, father and patriot, while Spencer Cox warned social media platforms amplify violent impulses.
