31-year-old Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, as part of his “American Comeback Tour,” on September 10, 2025.
Sources indicate the fatal bullet struck him in the neck, approximately 200 yards from the shooter’s position.
Kirk’s death tragically came just one day before the victims and heroes of 9/11 are remembered across the United States.
Charlie was a conservative political activist and was very close to President Donald Trump. Both Republicans and Democrats have condemned the act and called for immediate unity.
Will President Trump attend Yankees’ 9/11 ceremony?
Following Kirk’s tragic death, the New York Yankees and the White House confirmed that President Trump will be present today at Yankee Stadium.
“The New York Yankees and the White House today announced that President Donald J. Trump is scheduled to attend the Yankees-Tigers game on Thursday, September 11, at Yankee Stadium. Pregame ceremonies will recognize the victims and heroes of 9/11,” the Yankees stated through social media.
