UC Berkeley Is Final Turning Point Tour Stop In Aftermath Of Kirk's Killing

BERKELEY, CA — Nearly two weeks after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot at an event at a university in Utah, Turning Point USA officials announced the company's college tour would continue, including a stop at UC Berkeley.

Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA — a right-wing nonprofit that goes to high school and college campuses to advocate for conservative politics, was shot and killed on Wednesday, Sept. 10, while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University.

His suspected killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, led authorities on a short manhunt that ended when a family friend turned him in to law enforcement.

Kirk's appearance at Utah Valley University marked the kickoff of Kirk's latest national college tour, titled "The American Comeback Tour."

On Friday, Kirk's wife, in her first public appearance since his death, vowed to continue his movement. Turning Point USA announced on social media on Monday that the college tours would continue, with stops at several universities across the country, including Montana State, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech and Utah State.

UC Berkeley is slated as the final stop in the tour, with comedian Rob Schneider and Christian apologist Frank Turek expected to make appearances at the event, according to the social media post.
