Influential conservative influencer and activist Charlie Kirk died Wednesday after being shot in the neck at an event on a Utah college campus, President Donald Trump announced.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” he wrote on Truth Social following the incident at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
“No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” Trump added. “He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”
