“At some point, we have to find an off-ramp, or it’s going to get much, much worse,” Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, said of political violence after a suspect was caught in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were quick to show support after conservative media personality Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in Utah.

Kirk's death followed attacks in recent years on Trump, state governors, state lawmakers, members of Congress and even the US Capitol.
