WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump, fumed in anger following the assassination of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday, September 10, and said that he is "sick and tired" of seeing bullets fly, which are "only going one way."

The co-founder of Turning Point USA was shot during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, and tragically died after he was rushed to the hospital.

During an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Wednesday, Eric Trump said, "It is hard to fathom. We have seen enough death. We have seen enough senseless killings."

"I'm sick and tired of seeing the bullets—they are only going one way! First, it was my father, then you saw what they tried to do to Kavanaugh, to Steve Scalise. Now they just killed Charlie Kirk," Eric Trump added.



 

He further mentioned, "When is there accountability from MSNBC and NBC and everybody else who just fosters this hate every single day, including today, right after that incredible man right there was kiIIed? It's enough!"

Following Kirk's assassination, a video surfaced online showing someone on the roof of the Loose Center at Utah Valley University minutes before Kirk was shot.

The 31-year-old was critically injured and was taken to a hospital urgently for treatment. However, President Donald Trump provided an update shortly on his condition and confirmed that he succumbed to his injuries.

Notably, authorities are still on the hunt for the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s shooting death after initially announcing that someone was in custody.

FBI Director Kash Patel also clarified that the individual was released after interrogation, and Utah Governor Spencer Cox called the incident a "political assassination".



 

Following the assassination, the American flags on the White House roof and the north and south lawns have been lowered to half staff in Kirk’s honor as ordered by the president.

Donald Trump blames 'radical left' for Charlie Kirk's assassination

President Donald Trump blamed the "radical left" for the horrific death of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday, while politicians of both parties largely coalesced to mourn his tragic demise.

The POTUS said in a video message, "For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals."



 

"This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now," the POTUS added.

The president also called for "all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree".

However, he then called out "radical left political violence," without paying tribute to any Democratic politicians who have been targeted.

The POTUS said, "From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year — which killed a husband and father — to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a health care executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others, radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives."

Officials have not yet announced a motive for Kirk's assassination.
