conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed today in what appears to be a targeted act of

political violence. Kirk was, of course, CEO of the right-wing youth organization, Turning Point

USA, and a close ally of Donald Trump's. He was just 31 years old. He was a husband and a father of two

young kids. And this senseless act of political violence unfolded at a campus event at Utah

Valley University just north of Provo, Utah. Kirk was about 20 minutes into speaking in front of a

crowd of thousands at a campus event when a single gunshot rang out. The crowd immediately took

cover, ran for safety. You can see some of the footage there. And while multiple videos

have surfaced showing these shooting from several angles and what actually happened, I'm not

going to show it to you here because it is unbelievably graphic. Now, within hours, the president

himself had announced Kirk's death. And then hours after that, the governor of Utah,

Spencer Cox, had this to say.

This is a dark day for our state.

It's a tragic day for our nation.

And I want to be very clear that this is a political assassination.

Our nation is broken.

We've had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted

assassination on the governor of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a presidential candidate and former president of the United States.

If anyone in the sound of my voice celebrated even a little bit at the news of this shoot-it,

I would beg you to look in the mirror

and to see if you can find a better angel in there somewhere.

I don't care what his politics are.

I care that he was an American.
