Conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has reportedly died following a shooting at a university campus in Utah. Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced the news Wednesday on his Truth Social platform, calling Kirk a “Great, and even Legendary” figure who deeply connected with America’s youth.
According to Trump’s statement, Kirk was shot during an on-campus event and succumbed to his injuries. While official law enforcement confirmation is still pending, Trump’s message quickly spread across social media, drawing strong reactions from both supporters and critics of the conservative activist.
Kirk, 30, was a well-known political influencer who built a national following through Turning Point USA, a nonprofit organization promoting conservative values on college campuses. Over the past decade, he became a prominent voice for young conservatives, frequently appearing on television, radio, and digital platforms. His outspoken defense of free speech and limited government policies earned him widespread recognition and controversy alike.
Trump praised Kirk’s influence, saying, “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie.” Many conservative figures echoed similar sentiments online, describing Kirk’s death as a devastating loss for the movement.
Details surrounding the shooting remain unclear, with local authorities expected to release more information in the coming hours. The incident has already reignited debates about campus safety, political polarization, and gun violence in the U.S.
Kirk leaves behind a powerful legacy as a driving force in shaping conservative thought among younger generations. His death marks a significant moment in American politics, particularly within conservative circles where he was regarded as both a leader and cultural influencer.
