Charlie Kirk, a MAGA icon close to Donald Trump and an influencer revered by young conservatives, was shot dead on Wednesday, September 10, in Utah. His death once again plunges the country into political violence.

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

The right-wing activist was shot in the neck while speaking on a college campus in a horrific public scene.
