The New York Yankees held a moment of silence ahead of their 11-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night to honor Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist who was shot and killed in Utah earlier in the day.

Kirk, a right-wing talk show host and the founder of "Turning Point USA," was speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday when he was shot in the neck. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. He was 31.
The shooting is still under investigation, and officials have not yet arrested the alleged assailant. Further specifics are not yet known.
Kirk is a Chicago-area native and a noted Cubs fan. It's unclear if he has any connection to the Yankees. President Donald Trump, whom Kirk repeatedly campaigned for and supported, is set to attend the Yankees' game against the Tigers at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, which is the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
