I’m going to update this post with news about the political assassination of Charlie Kirk.
*Summary*
Good. They need the privacy and security.
UPDATE:
Yes, the Democrats are still at it. BUT TRUMP:
Some of these groups that are out there on the internet or maybe even on TV, actually calling to up the political violence. We’re hearing that a lot from the right.Right now, Democrats across the board are saying we need to come together. We need to turn down the rhetoric. We need to stop this political violence. It’s shocking to me that so many Republicans are not doing that, not following the lead of Speaker Johnson, but actually following the lead of Donald Trump, who is just trying to call out extremist left wing groups blame this on Democrats. We heard that from my colleague Nancy Mace before we even know who the shooter is. That’s not a way to solve this problem.If the President is serious about stopping political violence, then maybe he should start by rescinding the pardons for all the domestic terrorists who came to the Capitol on January 6 to kill cops, to kill Speaker Pelosi to kill Vice President Pence.Let’s have an honest conversation about the origins of this political violence and why it has risen so dramatically since Donald Trump’s first term.

Authorities believe they recovered the gun used to assassinate Kirk:
FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls made the announcement during a Thursday morning press conference at Utah Valley University.The weapon “is a high powered bolt action rifle. That rifle was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter had fled. So the FBI laboratory will be analyzing this weapon. Investigators have also collected footwear, the impression of a palm print and forearm imprints for analysis,” Bohls said.”We are not sure how far he has gone,” Bohls added about the assassin.Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason confirmed that the shooter appeared to be “of college age,” but he declined to offer more identifying details.Mason said footage from the campus showed the shooter climbed to the roof of a building overlooking Kirk’s event. He then jumped from the building and fled to a nearby neighborhood after the shooting.
