Overview

• Utah Valley University announced a third‑party investigation to evaluate its response to the Sept. 10 shooting and recommend campus safety improvements.
• The Glendale, Arizona farewell at State Farm Stadium drew tens of thousands, where President Donald Trump called Kirk a “martyr for American freedom” and J.D. Vance praised his mission.
• Elon Musk attended the ceremony, sat near Trump, and posted a photo captioned “For Charlie,” reflecting the event’s high-profile turnout.
• Robinson was arrested shortly after the shooting and was indicted on Sept. 16 on seven counts, including murder with aggravating circumstances.
• Authorities say Robinson told them he acted because Kirk “spread too much hate,” while figures like Tucker Carlson and Cynthia McKinney offered sharply different interpretations of who bears responsibility.
