Charlie Kirk dropped out of college at 18 to co-found Turning Point USA. By 31, he had built a $92 million-a-year political empire, with millions of followers online and a direct line to President Donald Trump like few others.

Founder of Turning Point USA was shot at a university event, an act that has been condemned by leaders across the political spectrum.

Kirk, who founded conservative student group Turning Point USA, was shot while hosting an event in Utah, reports say.

Charlie Kirk, 31, is survived by his wife, Erika, and two children.
