President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the New York Yankees game against the Detroit Tigers at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, September 11th, 2025, the Yankees announced today. The game will include pregame ceremonies to honor the victims and heroes of 9/11. Enhanced security measures are in effect for attendees. This announcement comes as the investigation into the assassination of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, who was killed on September 10th, 2025, near Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, continues. President Trump previously vowed to identify and prosecute individuals and organizations he believes contributed to and financed Kirk's assassination, stating "far-left activists" and their rhetoric are "directly responsible for terrorism." New drone footage released this morning, September 11th, 2025, offers an overhead view of the crime scene and details the assailant's position and escape route, according to X reports. The assailant was described as wearing jeans, a black shirt, a black mask, and a black vest, and carrying a "long rifle." Analysis posted to X suggests the shooter may have been aiming for Kirk's head, discussing bullet drop variations for different rifle calibers at an estimated 200 yards, noting the elevated position would make deviations negligible. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro ordered state flags to be flown at half-staff to honor Kirk. Representative James Talarico condemned political violence and remembered Kirk as "a child of God" and "Our sibling. Our brother. A human being endowed with infinite worth." Separately, a tweet from "Jim_Banks" on X criticized the Democratic Party. Dutch politician Geert Wilders shared Kirk's statement on X, "Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of Europe," asserting Kirk was "100% right." Additionally, a video surfaced from the People's Conference For Palestine in Michigan, where Nidal Jboor urged the assassination of U.S., Israeli, and European politicians opposing a Palestinian State. President Trump had previously ordered U.S. flags to be flown at half-mast until Sunday evening, and Utah Governor Spencer Cox also ordered state flags to be flown at half-staff. Utah Valley University's campus remains closed until September 15th. The FBI launched a digital media tip line on September 10th, between 10:30 PM and 10:45 PM UTC, seeking information. The FBI had detained and released two individuals, George Zinn and Zachariah Qureshi, stating they have no current ties to the shooting.
