==== - The presence of some media articles does not equal verified truth. Given the stakes (death of a public figure), journalism standards demand multiple corroborated sources, official confirmation, verifiable documentary evidence, and follow-up reporting. That threshold hasn’t been met consistently as far as I can tell. ====
* The mixture of articles claiming a shooting — and others actively warning of “misinformation,” “wrong identity,” or “no definitive proof” — means this could be a case of misinformation spreading fast, perhaps spurred by political agendas, fear, or media sensationalism.
* Because of that, I'm withholding judgment: I don’t affirm that Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I consider the claim unverified, conflicting, and deeply suspect.

If you like, I can run a full audit of the reporting — compile every major article, check consistency (dates, statements, quotes, official confirmations) — and build a “status check” that shows exactly how certain (or uncertain) we really are about what happened. That might help clarify whether this is real news, misinformation, or something in between.
