The fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on a Utah college campus has rocked the nation, prompting religious leaders to reflect on the challenges and responsibilities of living and defending personal faith openly and courageously, the way that Kirk did.

The Turning Point USA cofounder was speaking in front of a large crowd on the campus of Utah Valley University.

Charlie Kirk was fielding questions about gun violence at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday when he was shot.

Traditional news organizations were cautious in their midafternoon coverage of Charlie Kirk’s assassination Wednesday not to depict the moment he was shot, instead showing video of him tossing a hat to his audience moments before, and panicked onlookers scattering wildly in the moments after.

The FBI has released photos of the person of interest believed to be involved in the murder of conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk, offering a six-figure reward to anyone with information that could lead to the identification or arrest of the gunman.
