LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Governor Gretchen Whitmer released a statement Wednesday afternoon responding to the shooting of conservative commentator and activist Charlie Kirk.

Kirk, an ally of President Trump and popular right-wing speaker, was shot at an event in Utah on Wednesday.

“Thinking of Charlie Kirk, his family, and the community at UVU after the horrific shooting. We should all come together to stand up against any and all forms of political violence. It’s unacceptable,” Whitmer said.

Kirk is currently in critical condition.
