Charlie Kirk shot dead in Utah

Donald Trump says the killing of one of his leading supporters, the political activist Charlie Kirk, marks a dark day for the United States. He was shot dead on Wednesday at a university in Utah. Mr Trump described him as a martyr for truth and freedom. He blamed what he called the 'radical left' for fostering a climate of political violence.
