Conservative Activist Charlie Kirk Fatally Shot Utah College Event

Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old conservative activist, author, and close ally of President Donald Trump, was assassinated at Utah Valley University during the first stop of his "American Comeback Tour." Kirk was known for his devout Christian faith and commitment to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, as reflected by Pastor Jack Hibbs and others who praised his unwavering Christian witness and dedication to the nation's welfare. His death has sparked mourning both in the U.S. and internationally, including from Nigerian gospel singers like Nathaniel Bassey and Victoria Orenze, who emphasized Kirk's role as a true soldier of Christ. At Destiny Christian Church in Sacramento, where Kirk had a strong connection, congregants gathered in prayer and remembrance, drawing strength from his message of faith and resilience. The attack, described by the Utah governor as a political assassination, involved a shooter firing from a rooftop, targeting Kirk specifically. Church leaders and supporters continue to honor Kirk's legacy by upholding his boldness in faith and commitment to proclaiming Christ in America.
