Authorities are investigating an incident at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Missouri where a guest, wearing a fake-blood-covered shirt referencing Charlie Kirk’s murder, agreed that some people should be killed over freedom of speech issues. The individual was not a student and was removed from campus; police departments and the FBI have been informed about the event for further investigation. The incident has prompted calls from TPUSA for the university to take action under its policies on violence and conduct.

Story summary
On Thursday, a guest speaker at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Missouri (UM) called for the killing of more figures like Charlie Kirk, an outspoken conservative commentator. The guest wore a shirt depicting Kirk covered in fake blood during a debate with TPUSA's UM chapter speaker. After the incident, TPUSA demanded that UM take swift action and referred the matter to MUPD (University of Missouri Police Department), the Columbia Police Department, and the FBI for investigation. UM later announced that the guest was not a student and had been "trespassed" from campus. The Columbia police spokesperson confirmed they were notified after the event and are in contact with MUPD for assistance. The FBI is aware but has provided no further comment.
