IDAHO FALLS — There are at least two eastern Idaho cities where candlelight vigils will be held tonight, Sept. 13, for an assassinated conservative activist.
Charlie Kirk, the conservative media influencer who founded Turning Point USA, died on September 10 from a gunshot wound to the neck while he was speaking in front of a large Utah Valley University crowd as a part of his “American Comeback” tour. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been taken into custody and is accused of assasinating Kirk.
A candlelight vigil in honor of Kirk is scheduled for 7 p.m. on the steps of the Bonneville County Courthouse in Idaho Falls at 605 North Capital Avenue and another vigil is scheduled to take place in Pocatello on the Idaho State University Quad at 8 p.m.
