This week on International Desk, an unfolding story from the United States.
Conservative political organiser Charlie Kirk has died after being shot during an event at Utah Valley University.
Kirk was a controversial figure, known for his pro-gun and Christian Nationalist views, as well as his close allyship with United States President Donald Trump.
Kirk’s death comes shortly after other stories of political violence in the United States.
In June, Democratic legislator Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were assassinated in a shooting in their home. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were also injured the same day.
Following the news about Kirk’s death, Wire Host Caeden reached out to Andre Fa’aoso from the Yale Daily News to find out how people were reacting in the United States.
