The political activist and founder of the Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk died at the age of 31. He succumbed to the injuries for several hours in Utah, which was most likely a planned attack. The report of the death of Kirka was confirmed by his spokesman, as well as President Donald Trump himself, who cooperated with the conservative.
“Great and legendary Kharkie Kirk died. No one understood the hearts of young Americans as well as Charlie. He was loved and admired by all, especially me, and now there is no longer with us. Melania and I express my sincere condolences to his beautiful wife Erike and family.
At about the same time, there was a shooting at a high school in Colorado, during which three people lost their lives. The director of the Federal Investigation Office Kash Patal said that the FBI was dealing with both attacks. The perpetrator, who killed Kirka by shooting one of the surrounding buildings, was detained on Friday afternoon.
The murderer is a student
According to the preliminary internal administration of the ATF Office, investigators found a rifle in the nearby forest with charges, where the references associated with transgender and anti -fascist ideology were engraved. It is assumed that the attacker did not disagree with Kirka’s views.
The first suspect was detained by the police shortly after the assassination. As it turned out, it was a fake track. The real perpetrator managed to track down and arrest on Friday afternoon. It is 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah.
According to his father, he was supposed to report him to the police: “Tyler was given by his own family, who said he was full of hatred. To admit he was a murderer, he had his father.
Who is Charlie Kirk and why did Trump loved him?
Charles James Kirk was born into the middle class in Chicago. He began to be interested in the policy of the conservative values as a teenager. It was mainly influenced by the program of former political commentator Rush Limbaugh. “I started listening to him when I was in high school. I told myself – this man is unreal! In high school, you are looking for someone to match your values. I will never forget: During lunch, from 12-17 to 12:55, I listened to him. The motivated Limbaugh was in countercredible with his closest friends, which after all did he have driven him to express his views publicly. In 2012, the essay, under his name, sent to a conservative, from where it was then taken over by Fox News.
The young student became the centerpiece of the Republicans’ interest and, at the recommendation of the conservative activist Bill Montgomery, started activism. At the age of 18 he founded the organization of the Turning Point USA, which promoted the values of young Republicans.
With his charisma and abilities, he naturally won influential investors, which was eventually liked by Donald Trump himself. He appointed him in 2019 as president of the group supporting his candidacy. When Trump did not succeed in the presidential election, Kirka provided transportation to the protest before the chapter, he writes. Finally, the Assembly of Angry Voters resulted in an attack in connection with which five people lost their lives.
Charlie Kirk belonged to the circle of Trump’s closest ones in the previous elections. He used his talent especially in the collection of financial support. One of his tactics was to present Republican support as a profitable investment. Kirk’s experts, according to Kirk’s experts, the atmosphere, communication skills and overall presentation of the US Turning Point raised a value of hundreds of millions of euros. Thanks to it, he visited 25 university camps, where he lectured as part of his discussion tour You’re Being Brainwashed (free translation: You were manipulated). In addition, he had a strong fan base on social networks, where he has more than 9 million fans. Among them are mainly young people, especially men who are impressed by the character of a traditional man.
“For the first time I do this, the evil ones are at a disadvantage. High school students are the most conservative over the last 50 years. The votes of young voters have helped Trump to get to the White House,” he recently said in his show.
They shot him in defending weapons
According to media coverage, shooting took place on Wednesday, 10 September 2025, shortly after 12 o’clock in the afternoon. Several users managed to capture it on short videos that immediately appeared on social networks. It is clear that the shooting came from above and came at a time when Charlie Kirk answered the question of one of the participants in the discussion who asked him if he knew how many Americans had taken a weapon and shot people in the last 10 years. “Including or out of gangs?” Kirk asked, who was immediately shot. The attacker fired only one charge from the weapon, which he then threw in the nearby forest.
Kirk was convinced that owning a weapon is one of the fundamental rights. “I am willing to bear every year, and some victims of the lives in shooting, to keep a second amendment that protects our other gods,” quoted. The activist also urged people to get weapons. In his show The Charlie Kirk Show, which addressed mainly young people, he cited himself as an example and admitted that they also keep them in a large number in the Turning Point:
“Buy weapons, I still say. Buy weapons. Buy bullets. When you go to a public place, take a pistol with you, and if you live in a state where it is not allowed, I won’t help you, a friend. Fortunately in Arizona we can carry weapons – and we carry them.
We have more weapons at the Turning Point headquarters than you can imagine. If someone ever tried to come there, it wouldn’t end well for him. There is a sufficient supply of weapons to protect the country. ”
In addition, Charlie Kirk believed that the climate crisis is not a real threat but an artificially created problem to scare people. He also had reservations about Jewish faith, LGBTIQ+ people or blacks. In the video on his Youtube channel, he explains that he doubts the professionalism of people of darker skin and is afraid of it, as their inclusion is allegedly artificially pushed and may not be sufficiently qualified to perform the function.
