The body of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was assassinated Wednesday in Utah, will be brought home to Arizona on Thursday aboard Air Force Two, Associated Press sources said.
Vice President J.D. Vance shuffled his schedule Thursday, nixing plans to attend a Sept. 11 commemoration in New York City and heading instead to Utah, where Kirk, his friend, died.
While in Utah, Vance and his wife, Usha, were to meet with Kirk’s family and close friends, a person with knowledge told the AP.
Afterward, Vance will fly Kirk’s casket and family with him aboard Air Force Two from Utah to Arizona, where Kirk made his home.
Temporary flight restrictions were issued earlier Thursday for both areas, indicating movements of a high-profile person, like Vance.
