Salem Radio Network host and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday afternoon.
Utah Valley University shared that Kirk was the only person shot at the campus, and that he had been evacuated to a nearby hospital. Just before 5 PM ET, word came down that Kirk had succumbed to his injuries after appearing to be shot in the neck.
Dozens of news media members took to social media to share their prayers and well-wishes for Kirk after it was apparent that he had been injured in the shooting.
Satan is very much alive and well and writhing as men like Charlie continue to proclaim the truth of Christ to a fallen, lost world. Charlie understands evil better than most. We pray for him but Charlie, like President Trump would undoubtedly say “fight, fight, fight.”

Whatever you think about Charlie Kirk, he is one of the most influential political activists among conservatives. An attack on him is a serious threat to democratic discourse. Political violence is being normalized, and we need to have honest conversations about transgenders.
