Top Democrats have condemned political violence and urged Americans to unite in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shooting.
As a reminder, officials confirmed earlier that the killer is still at large and no details have yet been released about the suspect’s motive.
"This is a time that all Americans should come together and feel and mourn what happened," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tells the BBC’s US partner CBS News.
"Violence, which affects so many different people of so many different political persuasions, is an affliction of America, and coming together is what we ought to be doing, not pointing fingers or blame," he adds.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries echoed Schumer’s comments: "This moment requires leadership that brings the American people together, as opposed to trying to further divide us.
