Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old Trump ally and conservative activist, was shot dead while speaking at a Utah college. Students fled in panic as Kirk was struck in the neck during a public debate event. He was known for ending campus debates with his “prove me wrong” tent, often facing protests and applause. Kirk’s death adds to a rising list of political attacks in the US, including attempts on Trump’s life and shootings of lawmakers. President Trump called it a “dark moment for America.” Utah’s governor said the nation is “broken” as fears of worsening political violence grow. (PC: BBC)
