Charlie Kirk, founder of the Conservative Youth Organization Turning Point and the close ally of President Donald Trump, was deadly shot at Utah College on Wednesday. He previously noted that weapons’ deaths are tragic, but part of the American reality to maintain the rights of the other amendment.
“You’ll never live in society if you have armed citizens and you won’t have the death of a single weapon,” Kirk said, adding, “That’s nonsense. It’s a drivel. But I’m – I think it’s worth it.”
“I think it is worth having the cost of, unfortunately some weapons deaths every year so that we can have a second addition to protecting our other rights given by God. This is a cautious agreement. It’s rational. No one speaks like that.
He added that “having an armed citizen comes with a price, and that is part of freedom.” Or it is wise to consider the location of armed guards in schools and also “have more home fathers”.
Kirka’s comments were made after a deadly shooting on the Christian treaty in Nashville, Tennessee in April 2023, where three children and three adults were killed.
Charlie Kirk brutally shot dead
Charlie Kirk was killed on Wednesday at the Utah College event in what the governor of the state called the political assassination made of the roof.
“It’s a dark day for our state. It’s a tragic day for our nation,” said Utah Governor Spencer Cox. “I want to be very clear, it’s a political assassination.”
Later, a person who was taken into custody of killing Charlie Kirk was released, said FBI director Kash Patel. The FBI helps in the management of the probe.
The incident drew attention to the increasing threat of political violence in the United States, which has reduced the ideological spectrum over the past few years.
Videos posted on the social media from Utah Valley University show Kirk, who speaks into a pocket microphone while sitting under the white tent of decorative slogans with a “American return” and “do me badly”. The only shot rings and Kirk can see how he moves his right hand when a large volume of blood emerges from his left side. The spectators are breathtaking and screaming before people start to escape. The Associated Press was able to confirm that the videos were taken at the Soresen Center Courtyard on the University campus Utah Valley University.
The shooter who committed himself to Governor Cox would be responsible in the state with the death penalty, was reportedly dressed in dark clothes and fired from the roof at the campus at some distance.
