Horne statement on death of Charlie Kirk

PHOENIX – State schools Superintendent Tom Horne issued the following statement following the death of Charlie Kirk at a political event in Utah today.

Horne stated, “This is a tragic and despicable act of cowardice that has no place in American society. My deepest condolences go out to his wife and family who have suffered an unimaginable loss.

One of our cherished rights as Americans is the Constitutional protection of free speech and Charlie Kirk was practicing that right when he was cut down by gunfire. That is an attack on all our liberties, and we cannot tolerate this terrible scourge of violence.”
