[Regnum] Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed in a shooting at an event in Utah on September 10, spoke out against providing military aid to Ukraine.
"Of course, I support the president (US Donald Trump - Ed.) 100%. He knows things I don't know. I don't like the idea of arms sales to Ukraine. It's just a difference of opinion. You know, people can disagree," Kirk said on his show The Charlie Kirk Show a few months ago.
According to him, the conflict in Ukraine has nothing to do with the United States; it was unnecessary.
Kirk was shot to death by an unknown person during a speech at the University of Utah. The attack occurred during a question and answer session. Kirk was shot by a sniper, and the bullet hit him in the neck. The event was interrupted, and the wounded man was carried away by security.
During the election campaign, Donald Trump praised Kirk, calling him fantastic. After the incident, he called for prayers for the victim.
According to Fox News, Michael Mallinson, a Utah resident and registered Democratic Party supporter, is suspected of murdering Kirk.

Michael Mallinson is not the suspect, Charlie Kirk shooter still not in custody
OREM, Utah — Questions continue to circulate about the role of George Hodgson Zinn, who was briefly detained in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.
Utah House Speaker Mike Schultz confirmed Wednesday night that Kirk, 30, founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, died after being shot while delivering remarks during a campus speaking engagement.
While Zinn was identified on social media as a possible suspect, others have defended him, noting that although he has a reputation locally as a troublemaker, he was reportedly standing near police officers at the time of the shooting. Witnesses reported that the actual shooter appeared to have been positioned roughly 200 meters away from the venue.
Authorities confirmed that Zinn was taken into custody after video footage showed him being handcuffed at the scene.
However, officials have since clarified that he was not involved in the shooting and has been cleared of suspicion. He remains categorized as a “person of interest” while investigators verify all accounts.
Law enforcement sources also disclosed that, shortly before the attack, an unidentified individual was seen on a rooftop near the building.
Authorities are working to determine whether that sighting is linked to the gunfire.
| Just The News adds: |
"We initially took in George Zinn as a suspect," the department said. "He was later released and charged with obstruction .. A second suspect, Zachariah Qureshi, was taken into custody and released after interrogation with law enforcement. There are no current ties to the shooting with either of these individuals. There is an ongoing investigation and manhunt for the shooter."
