Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old conservative activist, was fatally shot while delivering a speech at Utah Valley University. Mere minutes earlier, he had shared a post online about the death of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. Former President Donald Trump later confirmed Kirk’s passing, describing him as “The Great, and even Legendary Charlie Kirk,” and offered condolences to his wife and family. The Justice Department is investigating what officials described as a “senseless act of violence.”
