Charlie Kirk was an author, originator of Turning Point USA, and a Christian conservative activist who traveled to colleges around the US to debate members of opposing viewpoints. He leaves behind his wife, Erika Frantzve, and his two children (a three year old daughter and one year old son). His wife has spoken out about wanting to continue his movement. He was shot on September 10th, 2025, at Utah University, and an hour later, he died as a result. After many were investigated, a suspect named Tyler Robinson was charged. The case is ongoing.
When any life is lost, it is a sad moment. We, the Timberline Paw Print Staff, can all agree that violence is never the answer.
