A student at a small private college in St. Paul, Minnesota, was caught on video by Turning Point USA members defending conservative titan Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and at times celebrating it.
The student approached the Turning Point members on the campus of Hamline University while they were hosting a tabling event, according to Frontlines TPUSA.
“Why shouldn’t I be glad that [Charlie Kirk] got shot? Like honestly?” the unnamed student asked the Turning Point members.
After a back-and-forth about gun control, the agitator doubled down.

“I wanna — I’m for the Second Amendment — I’m just glad Charlie Kirk got shot because he said some really stupid s—,” he said.
The student was asked whether he had ever said “stupid s—.”
“Well yeah, but —” he said, before being cut off by a Turning Point member, who asked if he should be shot for stupid things he has said.

“No, well, because I didn’t call for — I didn’t say that gun violence is necessary,” the student replied.
During his career as a conservative commentator, Kirk argued that, while tragic, school shootings don’t justify infringing on the Second Amendment, and in any case, criminals would still have access to guns.
“I’m just saying, I think it’s good Charlie Kirk got shot because he got what he preached. He said that violence is necessary. He said that empathy is a weakness. Why should I be empathetic to that?” the student argued.

Kirk never said empathy is a “weakness,” but did say on a 2022 episode of his podcast that he disliked the term.
“He got shot because he called for it,” the provocateur continued. “He said bring it on. I watched the video of him getting shot in the neck and I clapped.“
“That’s so sad,” a Turning Point student replied.

“I don’t think it is yet. I think bad people deserve to die,” the Kirk opponent said.
The students then launched into a brief debate about fascism, with the agitator claiming that President Donald Trump is a fascist.
Nationwide, there have been several instances of people publicly celebrating or mocking Charlie Kirk’s shocking assassination.

Less than a week after Kirk’s Sept. 10 killing in broad daylight while holding an event on the Utah Valley University campus, a student on the Clemson University campus was caught on video mocking the commentator, who left behind a wife and two young children.

Around the same time, a Texas Tech University student disrupted a Kirk vigil on campus, yelling, “”F— y’all homie dead, he got shot in the head.” That student was expelled.
A Chicago public school teacher was also accused of making light of Kirk’s death during a “No Kings” protest in October. She was caught on video making a gun symbol with her fingers, putting it to her neck, and pulling the imaginary trigger.
“Hamline University does not condone violence in any form,” the school said in a brief statement.

July 3 drone show at McKinley Beach
Watch the first-ever July 3 drone show at McKinley Beach in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee County will again opt for drones over fireworks for its Independence Day festivities this summer.
The county had its first-ever Fourth of July drone show in 2025, with officials saying at the time that drones would be better for the environment, safer and less costly than fireworks.
The show costs about $150,000 less than fireworks, Milwaukee County officials told the Journal Sentinel this week.
“Milwaukee County is at its best when we come together to create memorable, inclusive experiences for everyone,” County Executive David Crowley said in an April news release. “This drone show is another example of how we’re investing in our parks, our neighborhoods and our shared sense of community pride.”
Milwaukee County Parks Executive Director Guy Smith said in a news release last year the show is “an exciting and environmentally conscious way to celebrate our community.”
“Unlike traditional fireworks, drone shows reduce noise and air pollution while still delivering an unforgettable experience,” Smith said. “It’s about making memories and ensuring everyone feels welcome in these shared spaces.”
But the Journal Sentinel polled readers after last year’s show and a majority responded that they would prefer the county bring back fireworks.
This year’s show will debut pyrotechnic drone technology, adding spark effect for an “even more dynamic and visually stunning performance,” the news release says.
The show is 45 minutes long and features 900 drones, county officials said. It is scheduled for 9:15 p.m. July 3 along the lakefront at McKinley Beach.
An ICE agent facing several assault charges in connection with a January shooting involving two Venezuelan people in Minnesota has been arrested in Texas, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said.
Christian Castro was charged earlier this month with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime.
CNN is working to determine whether Castro has an attorney and has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.
Castro faces those charges in connection with the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan man shot in the leg through the front door of a Minneapolis home. The incident took place during the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement blitz in the Twin Cities.
Originally, Sosa-Celis and his cousin Alfredo A. Aljorna were facing federal charges after DHS said they had attacked an agent, prompting him to fire a defensive shot.
But the Justice Department dropped the charges in February, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement said two of its agents, who made false statements about the incident under oath, were placed on administrative leave.
