Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, 31, was tragically shot and killed on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University, just hours after sharing what would become his final post on Instagram.
Before stepping onto the stage, the Turning Point USA founder posted a screenshot of one of his tweets, featuring a photo of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, who was recently murdered in North Carolina. Alongside it, he wrote: “America will never be the same.”
Roughly 20 minutes into the debate, as Kirk sat at his well-known “Prove Me Wrong” table, the sound of a gunshot rang out.
