The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has drawn renewed attention to the rise in politically motivated violence across the United States, with experts warning it could serve as a flashpoint for further unrest.
Kirk, 31, founder of the conservative youth group Turning Point USA and a close ally of President Donald Trump, was shot and killed while speaking to a crowd of about 3,000 at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The FBI announced on Friday that it had detained 22-year old Tyler Robinson as the prime suspect in the murder.
