Charlie Kirk's hearse has arrived in Salt Lake City after his tragic death aged 31.
His body was driven through the side gates of Roland R. Wright Air National Guard Base in Salt Lake City, Utah, where it will be flown by Air Force Two to Arizona.
Vice President JD Vance will be on the same flight, and will also accompany the hearse to Kirk's home state along with his mourning wife and children.
A funeral is now planned for next week, which President Donald Trump said he will attend. He added that he has spoken with Kirk's wife, Erika, and said she is 'devastated absolutely devastated.'
Kirk, a father-of-two, was fatally shot when he engaged with students and community members at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
The popular conservative influencer was on the first leg of his American Comeback tour, when police say a lone gunman opened fire from a rooftop 200 yards away.
Horrified spectators gasped and screamed, before crowds were seen scrambling to flee the crime scene.
At the same time, a shadowy figure was caught on camera running on the top of the school's Lossee Center.

“A funeral is now planned for next week, which President Donald Trump said he will attend.”
Of that- I had no doubt.
The sadness is all over Trump’s face today, I know he wont admit it because he’s a proud man but I know he shed many tears last night..Charlie was like a son to him, he loved him, admired him greatly, this hurts so so much
I would not be surprised if President Trump is paying for everything.
Arizona! We gotta represent!
Many of us believe Donald Trump would not be president today had it not been for Charlie Kirk.
It’s too much to bear when I think about what his wife must be feeling. I’m so tired of people killing people, but humanity is determined to continue until Jesus puts an end to it. God help us.
I believe he played a huge part.
He would not be.
And Charlie’s efforts pretty much gave Trump the 2024 win by bringing out young men.
BTTT
I’m one of those people. Kirk and Presler...
AZ has been the scene for so many celebrated and publicized personalities with huge processions and funerals...Chris Kyle, the 19 Prescott Hot Shots now Charlie Kirk...
Kari Lake spoke last night about Charlie Kirk on one of the many shows I watched - News Nation or News Max or Fox...close friend and associate..
And the Left and the Mainstream Media will no doubt compare Kirk's funeral to that of Horst Wessel in 1930.
Could get wild here
Absolutely. Scott Presler did incredible work too. These young men, Kirk and Presler, did a lot to save America from four more years of leftwing rule.
Hope Pressler has good security
I tend to believe that as well.
Whatcha got in mind?
Stand back and stand by.
Let’s see what the arrangements are.
