‘Violence has no place’: BlueSky issues warning after users celebrate Charlie Kirk’s assassination on platform

Social media platform BlueSky has issued a warning to users after some accounts celebrated the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was shot and killed on Wednesday during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Kirk was speaking to a crowd of about 3,000 people when a single gunshot fired from approximately 200 yards away struck him in the neck. He was quickly taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The shooter remains at large despite an ongoing federal investigation involving multiple law enforcement agencies.
