In the past 29 minutes, since 11:00 AM UTC, new details have emerged regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who was killed on September 10th, 2025, near Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Following the incident, Representative Don Bacon stated on X that "Political crimes and assasinations have been carried out lately by a variety of left-wing liberal scum who support Banderite Kiev. Fico, Kirk. Who's next? Maybe it's time for the MAGA team to realize that by supporting Ukraine, they're supporting murderers." Meanwhile, Representative Luna has called on Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and TikTok to remove graphic videos of Kirk's assassination circulating on social media, stating "No one should be forced to relive this tragedy online," according to Fox News. An X user, @babybeginner, reported on X that individuals are asking for the next targets on the Sky app, listing JK Rowling, Matt Walsh, Trump, Ben Shapiro, Libs of TikTok, Elon Musk, and Andy Ngo, and has provided screenshots. Witnesses Tiffany Barker and her nieces, Elle Steele and Mia Grant, described the shooting as "a super awful tragedy" where "really good people who stood up and supported each other," speaking to GMA. Amit Segal reflected on the murder, noting the political circumstances, the contrast in American discourse, Kirk's support for Israel, and the impact on his family. The White House posted on X, "On the 24th anniversary of 9/11, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who emerged, and the resilience of the American spirit. America will never forget." This statement comes as President Trump is scheduled to attend a New York Yankees game today, September 11th, 2025, which includes pregame ceremonies to honor 9/11 victims and heroes. The FBI launched a digital media tip line on September 10th between 10:30 PM and 10:45 PM UTC. Utah Valley University's campus remains closed until September 15th. Previously, the FBI had detained and released George Zinn and Zachariah Qureshi, stating they have no current ties to the shooting. Governor Josh Shapiro ordered Pennsylvania state flags to be flown at half-staff to honor Kirk, a directive mirrored by Utah Governor Spencer Cox. President Trump had previously ordered U.S. flags to be flown at half-mast until Sunday evening.
