Conservative activist Kirk died on Wednesday after being shot in the neck during a speaking event, Turning Point USA confirmed.
Kirk was shot on Wednesday afternoon while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Kirk was transported to the hospital in critical condition immediately after the shooting and was pronounced dead from his injuries just hours after the shooting took place.
Turning Point USA, the conservative activist organization Kirk co-founded, confirmed his death in a statement later on Wednesday.
"It is with a heavy heart that we confirm that Charles James Kirk has been murdered by a gunshot that took place during Turning Point USA's 'The American Comeback Tour' campus event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025," the organization's statement read.
Kirk founded Turning Point USA in Phoenix in 2012 at the age of 18.
