DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE NEWS RELEASE

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez today condemned the shooting of Charlie Kirk, head of Turning Point USA, who was killed while speaking at a campus event at Utah Valley University.

“The killing of Charlie Kirk was reprehensible, and it should be condemned by every American. Our democracy demands that we unite against our nation’s rising tide of political violence.

“We hope that his assailant will be brought to justice very soon, and we extend our sincere sympathies to Mr. Kirk’s family and friends.”
