Charlie Kirk and his Family

I was looking at my news aggregator and this story came up:

The assassination of Charlie Kirk: The shooting death of the conservative activist at a public event in Utah has been a central focus. Law enforcement has arrested a 22-year-old suspect, Tyler Robinson. Utah's governor has stated the suspect had a "leftist ideology," though a definitive motive has not been released. The incident has sparked widespread discussion on political violence and rhetoric, with both political leaders and commentators weighing in. A memorial service was held on Capitol Hill, and rallies have been held in his honor, including a large gathering in London.

If this man, Tyler Robinson, is found responsible for I pray he is given the be mental support that can be offer. And our prayers go out to Kirk family.
