Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, was struck by a single bullet while addressing nearly 3,000 students. Authorities are treating it as a targeted political assassination. The suspect remains at large.
US President Donald Trump mourned Charlie Kirk as a “martyr for truth” and blamed divisive rhetoric for fueling violence. Leaders across party lines condemned the attack.
For businesses and investors, the tragedy highlights how rising political violence can spill into the economy — denting confidence, unsettling markets, and forcing universities, event organizers, and corporations to rethink security at large gatherings.
As the investigation continues, the bigger worry is clear: instability in America’s politics is increasingly becoming a risk factor for its economy.
