Script:
A video filmed by Phil Lyman captures a powerful moment at a political rally held at Utah Valley University, where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was seen personally engaging with supporters and handing out hats. Just moments later, on September 10, 2025, Kirk was assassinated — a shocking act of political violence that has sent ripples across the nation.

The FBI has since announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s arrest, underscoring the seriousness of the case. The tragedy comes amid growing concerns about political violence in the U.S., with recent studies highlighting an alarming rise in such incidents fueled by deepening polarization.

President Donald Trump quickly blamed the “radical left” for the attack, though researchers caution that divisive rhetoric on both sides of the political spectrum has contributed to an environment where violence can erupt. Kirk’s death has reignited debate over the role of political discourse in shaping this climate and the urgent need for a more measured national conversation.
