Charlie Kirk Honored with Flags, Candles and Prayers; 9/11 Memorials Honor Victims Across U.S. | NTD Good Morning
Utah residents paid tribute to conservative commentator Charlie Kirk on Wednesday at a makeshift vigil outside the hospital he was brought to after being fatally shot. Members of Congress have also responded to Kirk’s assassination, condemning the killer. The White House has ordered that all U.S. flags be flown at half-staff in his honor.
A manhunt is continuing as authorities have not yet detained a firm suspect in Kirk’s assassination. Police say a lone perpetrator is suspected of firing the single gunshot that killed Kirk from a distant rooftop sniper's nest on campus. State police issued a statement on Wednesday night saying that two men had been detained and that one was interrogated by law enforcement. However, both were subsequently released, with police saying neither have any current ties to the shooting.
9/11 remembrance ceremonies at New York City, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon are marking the 24th anniversary of the 2001 attacks. Families, survivors, and civic leaders are gathering to read the names of those lost, with moments of silence. Vice President JD Vance is in New York to mark the event, while President Donald Trump is at the Pentagon for the solemn occasion.
