A bomb squad was called after a “suspicious bag” was left at Turning Point USA’s headquarters in Phoenix on Wednesday, police said. The bag was spotted that morning outside the Charlie Kirk-founded nonprofit, a Phoenix Police Department spokesperson told the Daily Mail. A bomb robot and an official in a bomb suit arrived at the scene to handle the bag, according to videos shared by Newsmax journalist John Huddy on X. The street outside the headquarters was cleared by authorities, and yellow tape was set up around the scene. The contents of the bag are still not known to the public, but officials have said “there is not a threat associated with this incident.” They added, “Updates will be given out as they become available.” The bag was dropped off outside the headquarters across from a row of flowers and U.S. flags lining the curb to honor Kirk, who founded the nonprofit in 2012 with Bill Montgomery and was fatally shot last week. On Sunday, a 19-year-old, Ryder Corral, was charged with criminal damage and disorderly conduct for kicking over some of the tributes.
