U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) issued a statement following the death of Charlie Kirk, who was killed in a shooting at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
“Charlie Kirk was participating in the very American act of political dialogue when he was taken from us. He was a husband, son, and father of two little children. Political violence is anti-American. It’s an attack against our very values. It’s an attack on our republic. In our great country, we settle our disagreements with ballots, not bullets. Please join me in prayer for his family as they mourn,” Ricketts said.
No further details about the incident or investigation have been released at this time.
