Obama Weighs In After Charlie Kirk Fatally Shot

Former President Barack Obama weighed in shortly after the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, the founder of the conservative youth activist group Turning Point USA.

It appeared that Obama attempted to downplay the severity of the situation after someone fatally shot Kirk while he was speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

“We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children,” Obama tweeted.

The FBI said it is working with state and local police “to fully investigate and seek justice in the fatal shooting” of Charlie Kirk, the founder of the conservative youth activist group Turning Point USA, at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.The FBI sought the public’s help in identifying the person responsible, asking anyone with information, images, or videos related to the crime to submit it to the police.

FBI Director Kash Patel said earlier that the agency “stands in full support of the ongoing response and investigation.”
