WASHINGTON (WTAQ-WLUK) — Wisconsin lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are speaking out about the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
The CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth activist organization, was shot in front of a crowd on Wednesday while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. He died from his injuries later in the day.
The Associated Press reports that a gunman fired a single shot at Kirk. Video circulating online shows Kirk bleeding heavily from an apparent gunshot wound near his neck.
Here is what legislators from Wisconsin have said about the incident:
U.S. Rep. Tony Wied, R-8th District
Please join me in praying for Charlie Kirk.
There is absolutely zero place for political violence in our country.

There is no two ways about this: political violence has no place in America. I am keeping Charlie and his family in my thoughts in this truly horrifying moment.

Gov. Tony Evers (D)
Violence against anyone because of their political beliefs is wrong.
Violence against others is wrong.
Violence is never the answer for resolving our differences or disagreements.Wisconsin joins in praying for Charlie Kirk and the Utah Valley community and first responders.
