There has been no sources that has released details of the motive of the person that shot Charlie Kirk. However Pierre and Scheer seems to know exactly why it happened.

Pierre and Scheer had nothing to say about other school shooting that involved kids.

Seems like they're setting up for the same rhetoric as last time.

That is what happened though and for many on the right that’s exactly where their minds went first

Wire Article - Right-Wing Activists Are Targeting People for Allegedly Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Death

They got a website and a list going. The protect the women and children conservatives are awful quiet along with the anti-crime ones.

A central hub of this activity is a website called Charlie’s Murderers, which was registered in the early evening on the day Kirk was shot and is revealing certain personal information, such as social media usernames and email addresses, of individuals the operators believe were celebrating the horrific murder. One of the first names listed on the sites was Rachel Gilmore, an independent journalist at Bubble Pop Media who wrote on X that she was “terrified to think of how far-right fans of Kirk, aching for more violence, could very well turn this into an even more radicalizing moment. Will they now believe their fears have been proven right and feel they have a right to ‘retaliate,’ regardless of who actually was behind the initial shooting?”

I looked at the list. It's, ironically and unsurprisingly, the exact same thing they claim the left is doing to them: trying to cancel people for exercising their free speech rights.

It even includes people's current employers and the cities they live in. Even better, though, is that they don't even limit it to just people who are celebrating or calling for more violence—they include memes and comments pointing out the irony of the situation, Kirk's hypocrisy, people expressing their reservation of sympathy/empathy, and even a couple of comments that are literally just people expressing their worry about how the right will react to Kirk's death.

That's also where Trump immediately went before they even had a person of interest. They're all just spreading misinformation to set up a narrative that justifies what they wanted to do in the first place.
