President Donald Trump released a video message in honor of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who was killed Wednesday at an event in Utah.

“To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah,” Trump’s statement began. “Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror.”

Earlier Wednesday, Trump confirmed via Truth Social that Kirk had died after being shot at a Q&A event at Utah Valley University.

Kirk was answering politically charged questions from students, when he was shot. The Deseret News reporters who were covering the event described hearing a shot ring out and seeing blood spill from Kirk’s neck before chaos in the crowd erupted.
