Author Douglas Murray and Sky News host Rita Panahi have reacted to the tragic assassination of Turning Point USA founder and conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah.

“My thoughts are with Charlie but also his wife – his young wife and his two young children he leaves behind,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“It’s an extraordinary, appalling act of violence.”

Ms Panahi claimed the death of Charlie Kirk is a “heartbreaking, unimaginable loss”.
