[Regnum] Thousands of people gathered at State Farm Stadium in Arizona for the memorial service for slain political activist Charlie Kirk. NBC News is broadcasting the event on September 21.

People attended the ceremony wearing clothing in the colors of the American flag. Many wore MAGA hats (the slogan stands for "Make America Great Again" – Ed.). Speeches are scheduled from US President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, members of the US administration, and politicians. American businessman Elon Musk also decided to attend the ceremony.

According to state police, up to 200,000 people are expected to attend the funeral for the political activist, double the initial estimate. Local media reported that a line of thousands of people began forming overnight, with some Americans traveling with their families from out of state. Due to the influx of people wishing to pay their respects to Kirk, Desert Diamond Stadium was used as an additional venue. Currently, approximately 95,000 people have gathered at the stadium and the additional arena.

It was previously reported that US authorities would close the skies over State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where a memorial service for political activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed in an assassination attempt, will be held on September 21. Law enforcement officials suspect the event could become an "attractive target for extremists." It's possible that opponents of Kirk's rhetoric will attempt to stage protests near the stadium.

U.S. Secret Service agents detained an armed man at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, where a memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk will be held. Law enforcement officials said they found a pistol and a knife on the man, and he also displayed invalid law enforcement identification. The man is in custody.

A gunman shot Kirk in the neck on September 10 during a speech at the University of Utah. Coincidentally, the activist was speaking about gun violence in the United States at the time of the shooting. Kirk was hospitalized, but his life was lost.

On September 16, Utah State Attorney Jeff Gray indicted Tyler Robinson, suspected of murdering an activist. He stated that he would seek the death penalty, and the suspect will be held in the Utah State Prison without bail.
