查理·柯克在犹他谷大学演讲时遭枪击身亡 州长称政治暗杀
2025年9月10日中午，美国保守派活动人士、「美国转折点」（Turning Point USA）联合创始人查理·柯克在犹他州犹他县 Orem 市的犹他谷大学出席户外活动、与学生现场问答时遭枪击，送医后不治身亡，终年31岁。
据犹他州公共安全部门通报，枪击发生在当地时间中午12时20分左右，当时约有3,000人聚集在校园户外场地。柯克颈部中弹，被紧急送往医院，随后被宣布死亡。「美国转折点」组织证实了他的死讯。柯克2012年18岁时参与创办该组织，长期在全美高校巡回演讲，是特朗普总统的亲密盟友。他身后留下妻子与两个年幼的孩子。
特朗普当天宣布了他的死讯，并签署第10969号公告，下令白宫、全美公共建筑与军事设施以及美国驻外使领馆降半旗志哀，直至9月14日日落。
犹他州州长 Spencer Cox 当晚在记者会上称这起枪击是一起「政治暗杀」。他说：「这是我们州黑暗的一天，也是我们国家悲痛的一天。」他表示，执法部门当天先后问讯了两名相关人员，调查人员相信枪手只有一人，搜捕仍在进行，联邦调查局已介入协助。
犹他谷大学宣布，该校所有校区关闭至9月14日（周日），课程与活动全部暂停。案件的调查由犹他州公共安全部与联邦调查局共同推进。

Charlie Kirk Fatally Shot While Speaking at Utah Valley University; Governor Calls It a Political Assassination
On September 10, 2025, conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot while speaking at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah County, Utah, taking questions from students. He was rushed to a hospital and pronounced dead. He was 31.
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, the shooting occurred at about 12:20 p.m. local time, as roughly 3,000 people gathered at the outdoor campus venue. Kirk was struck in the neck by a single shot. Turning Point USA confirmed his death. Kirk co-founded the organization in 2012 at age 18 and became one of President Donald Trump's closest allies through his campus speaking tours. He is survived by his wife and two young children.
Trump announced Kirk's death that day and signed Proclamation 10969 ordering flags flown at half-staff at the White House, all public buildings and military facilities, and U.S. embassies and consular offices abroad, until sunset on September 14.
At an evening press conference, Utah Governor Spencer Cox called the shooting a "political assassination." "This is a dark day for our state. It's a tragic day for our nation," he said. Cox said investigators had questioned two people of interest during the day, believed a single gunman was responsible, and that the manhunt was continuing with the Federal Bureau of Investigation assisting.
Utah Valley University announced that all of its campuses would remain closed through Sunday, September 14, with classes and activities suspended. The investigation is being led by the Utah Department of Public Safety together with the FBI.
