Charlie Kirk’s body is being flown back to Arizona ahead of his funeral after he was shot dead at Utah Valley University earlier this week.

Vice President JD Vance led the members of the National Guard on Thursday, September 11, as they transported Kirk’s coffin on to Air Force Two at Roland R. Wright Air National Guard Base in Salt Lake City.

Vance will join Kirk’s widow, Erika Frantzve, and the couple’s two children, on the flight as it heads back to the conservative political commentator’s home state for his funeral. The funeral is slated for next week, with President Donald Trump among those who have indicated they will attend.

Kirk, who founded Turning Point USA, was killed on Wednesday, September 10, while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He was 31.
