Stars Share Tributes After Charlie Kirk’s Tragic Death
After Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, was shot and killed, social media was flooded with tributes.
Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot yesterday, September 10, while giving a speech at Utah Valley University.
Social media users swiftly shared videos of the shot ringing out as the 31-year-old was interacting with attendees at the event.
Questions about Kirk’s condition persisted after the news of the attempted murder surfaced, but it was eventually established that he had died from his wounds sustained in the gunshot.
