CHARLIE’S LIGHT LIVES ON: Candlelight prayer vigils held around the world are honoring the life and legacy of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Full details below
Hundreds of Utah State University students still reeling from the assassination of Charlie Kirk came together at a tearful vigil hosted by the campus’ Turning Point USA chapter on Friday night.
“We just want to have our community come together in this really dark time,” Kaitlyn Griffiths, president of the school’s chapter, told Fox News Digital at the emotional and faithful tribute to the late conservative activist. “Especially something that happened so close to home for us. And we want to be able to gather and celebrate this man’s life.”
The somber vigil comes two days after Kirk, the 31-year-old co-founder of the conservative student program Turning Point USA, was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University, the first stop on TPUSA’s The American Comeback Tour.
A heavy police presence was seen throughout the university as hundreds of mourners filled the campus to pay tribute to Kirk, with the vigil including prayers from the student body and a moving film featuring key moments in his career.
“I’m a Christian,” Griffiths said. “I believe that Jesus Christ died for us, and Charlie Kirk believed in the same things. The thing that he always said he wanted to be remembered [for] was his courage and his faith, so we’re trying to focus our event tonight on celebrating his faith, and the man that he was, and how strongly and harshly he worked for the things that he cared for.”
The Ohio College Republican Federation will gather community members Sept. 14 at Coffman Park Pavilion, 5200 Emerald Pkwy., in Dublin to honor the memory of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.
The conservative leader was shot and killed Sept. 10 at a Utah speaking event.
Attendees are asked to gather at 6:45 p.m. Sept. 14 for the Dublin vigil; the program will begin at 7:15.
Speakers are yet to be announced for the Sunday event, according to a Sept. 11 Twitter post from the statewide organization that promotes educational and career opportunities for Republican students.
Candles will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own chairs.
Authorities announced they had taken the suspected killer into custody Friday, Sept. 12, two days after the shooting.
A family member told authorities 22-year-old Tyler Robinson “confessed to them or implied that he committed the incident,” according to reporting from USA Today.
