President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania React to Charlie Kirk Shooting

The President of the United States, along with the First Lady, publicly expressed their condolences over the sudden passing of the right-wing activist.

President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, have shared their sympathies following the sudden death of MAGA activist Charlie Kirk. The Turning Point USA founder was fatally shot while hosting a student event on Wednesday, September 10, at Utah Valley University.

"The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead," the president wrote on Truth Social that evening. "No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie."

"He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us," he continued. "Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!"

Melania shared her own message in light of Charlie's death. "Charlie's children will be raised with stories instead of memories, photographs instead of laughter, and silence where their father's voice should have echoed," she wrote on X.

"Charlie Kirk's life should serve as a symbolic reminder that compassionate awareness elevates family, love, and country," she added. Charlie was killed in what authorities believe to be a targeted attack.

Two suspects have since been arrested in connection to the assassination, but both were released following interrogation and further investigation. The shooter, as of this writing, remains at large.
