The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has issued a statement following the shooting of an American political commentator.
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk died after being shot in the neck Wednesday, Sept. 10, during a rally and appearance at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
“It is with great sadness that we learn of the shooting that took place at Utah Valley University resulting in the death of Charlie Kirk,” Church spokesman Doug Andersen said in a statement.
“Our prayers go out to his family at this time. We condemn violence and lawless behavior. We also pray that we may treat one another with greater kindness, compassion and goodness. For members of the Church, we reaffirm that the Savior’s teaching and admonition is to love our neighbor.”
