Backlash over TikTok posts:
Charlie Kirk’s death was announced on social media by Trump, who praised the 31-year-old as “Great, and even Legendary.” While the news of the fatal shooting of the activist, who was known for ‘change-my-mind’ style debate, broke people’s hearts, some shared TikTok videos mocking the moment.
Who is the shooting suspect?
The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, has been taken into custody. Initially, the US president indicated he was turned in by “somebody very close to him.” Investigative authorities later alleged that Robinson had “implied” killing Kirk to a family friend.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox revealed during the press conference that the authorities believed the suspected shooter “acted alone.” While talking about the motive behind the incident, Cox said, it’s because the suspected shooter “disliked" the activist.
