President Donald Trump confirmed Kirk’s death on Wednesday after the first reports said the 31 -year -old was in critical condition. A university spokesperson told the appellant that Kirk spoke to students, a blow from a building about 200 meters hit him in the neck.
“Suddenly, from anywhere, there was this strong blow, just a blow, Bang. And I saw him hitting the neck, and I saw blood gushing from Red,” said a local student who attended the appellant’s event, adding that Kirk had answered a question about religion when the shot was dismissed.
Trump announced Thursday that he would award Kirk the presidential medal of freedom.
“Before I start, let me express the horror and sorrow of so many Americans of Charlie Kirk’s odious assassination,” said Trump. “Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of freedom and an inspiration for millions and millions of people.
