The September killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a campus speaking event rocked the political landscape in the U.S. and beyond.
Kirk, who was known for making provocative statements on gender and race, was the founder of Turning Point USA, a group that mobilized young, Christian conservatives. He was credited with increasing political engagement for younger people and helping Donald Trump win reelection to the White House. His shooting death prompted somber conversations about political violence as well as angry calls for political retribution.
