Trump-supporter shot: Memorial lesson in sports stadium for Trump supporters Kirk planned

After the fatal attack on the right-wing conservative Trump supporter Charlie Kirk, the organization Turning Point USA, which he founded, is organizing a public commemoration. It is planned on Sunday (September 21) in a sports stadium at Phoenix in the US state of Arizona, as the organization on its website under the motto “Create a legacy-in memory of Charlie Kirk”. The stadium has more than 60,000 seats.

It is not yet known whether representatives of the US government will also participate. So far, there is also no information on the funeral itself. US President Donald Trump had promised to get there. In the next week, the president will first travel to London for several days.

Flowers and letters at the crime scene

Already this weekend mourners came to the scene and laid down flowers and letters. The right-wing conservative activist and er Kirk (31) was shot in the US state of Utah on Wednesday when he spoke as a guest speaker on a university site. A young man is suspicious. The state assumes that it was a “political attack”. It is not known whether the alleged shooter has commented on the allegations. Trump and the state have already spoken out for the death penalty.

According to official information from the suspect’s family, the crucial tip for the arrest came. A family member turned to a family friend. The latter passed on the information to the office of a sheriff that the suspect had stood or indicated that he had committed the crime. The TV broadcaster CNN, citing investigators, reported that the suspect’s father claims to have identified his son on search photos.

Consequences for negative statements about Kirk

Meanwhile, more and more cases of professional consequences are becoming known against people who are said to have commented on Kirk negatively. US media reported on a case of a dismissed employee of an office article chain who is said to have refused to print flyers for a vigil for the shot Kirk.

The Republican governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, made investigations by the educational authority there against teachers and employees on the platform X who are said to have posted inappropriate content on social media.

And a university in the US state of Tennessee released an employee days ago. A statement said that she published insignificant comments on Kirks’s death on social media. That a shame to call the university.
