Charlie Kirk, the powerful conservative commentator and close Trump ally and friend, has died after being shot in the neck at an event for Turning Point USA, the organization he founded.
The news of Kirk’s death was posted by President Trump on Truth Social.
In that post, the president said: “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie.”
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!
Kirk was 31.
He is survived by his wife, Erika, and their two children.
The shooter remains at large despite earlier reports that said a suspect had been arrested.
