<p>President Donald Trump issued an order on Wednesday that all American flags be lowered to half staff until Sunday evening at 6 p.m. in honor of conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.</p>
<p>Trump shared the news in a post to his Truth Social platform, saying, &#8220;In honor of Charlie Kirk, a truly Great American Patriot, I am ordering all American Flags throughout the United States lowered to Half Mast until Sunday evening at 6 P.M.&#8221;</p>

<p>Kirk was shot hours earlier while speaking at a campus event at Utah Valley University in Orem, just 20 minutes after he&#8217;d begun to speak. Video quickly circulated of the moment when Kirk was shot by an individual who remains at large as of this writing. Chaos erupted on the scene as students fled in all directions.</p>
<p>Social media was immediately flooded with prayers and well-wishes for Kirk, his wife Erika, and their two young children — but Trump made the heartbreaking announcement a few hours later that his friend had died.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!&#8221; Trump said in a statement.</p>
