"He added that he has directed consular officials to take appropriate action and even asked people to share comments making light of Kirk's death with the State Department. I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action."
"During the event at Utah Valley University, Kirk was 20 minutes into his event when he was discussing transgender shooters. A single shot rang out, hitting Kirk in the neck. The Turning Point USA founder was 31 and he leaves behind a wife and two children. The shooter remains at large, but the FBI has released a photo of the suspect."
