PHOENIX — Shane Besore drove up at 2 p.m. Wednesday to the Turning Point USA headquarters with his head down and parked in a gravel lot.

A handful of others had already arrived at the headquarters of the organization Charlie Kirk cofounded to mourn and pay their respects to the right-wing media personality who was shot and killed at an event in Utah hours earlier.

Besore walked in a solemn silence, shoulders slumped, holding a red “Make America Great Again” hat. At the entrance, he placed the hat on a metal post, as a makeshift memorial grew.

He walked back, eyes filled with tears, leaving behind the hat he filled with notes and Bible verses dedicated to Kirk’s family and the Turning Point staff.
