Turning Point USA (TPUSA) returned to Utah on Sept. 30 for a tour stop at the Utah State University (USU), marking its first event in the state since the assassination of founder Charlie Kirk.

Kirk, the conservative commentator who founded the nonprofit TPUSA, was shot and killed on Sept. 10 while speaking to a crowd of students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
