Students who debated with Charlie Kirk mourn his death

Charlie Kirk, a vocal advocate on abortion and religion, was shot on stage in Utah, highlighting concerns about rising political violence targeting activists, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking on stage at a Utah college campus, the 31-year-old right-wing American activist was killed in the attack.
  • Kirk's national profile grew through Turning Point USA and campus events, including a debate at the University of Cambridge months ago on abortion, women's rights, and religion.
  • Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life, said `His death will be a turning point` and announced plans to visit 160 campuses this semester with the fall theme `every human life matters`.
  • Students who debated Kirk at Cambridge condemned the shooting and urged societal self-reflection, emphasizing that `Political disagreement must never be a death sentence`.
  • Calls grew for renewed focus on campus safety and the health of political discourse, with observers linking the killing to rising political violence and referencing MPs Jo Cox and Sir David Amess.
