Utah Governor Spencer Cox called the shooting a "political assassination" and a "dark day" for the state and nation. The shooting has drawn widespread condemnation from both Republican and Democratic officials. President Donald Trump confirmed Kirk's death on social media and ordered flags lowered to half-staff.
A person of interest was taken into custody, and the FBI is now involved in the investigation alongside local and campus police. The shooting has renewed concerns about an escalating threat of political violence in the United States.
