Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday during a speaking event at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah. The 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA had been addressing a large outdoor gathering on campus when, just after midday, a single gunshot broke the silence. That one shot struck him and proved fatal. The shocking incident not only sent panic through the crowd but also triggered an intense manhunt for the shooter, who, as of official reports, remained at large.
