Turning Point USA hosts vigil for Charlie Kirk, 9/11 victims at NC State
HEADING OUR WAY. COMING UP.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH US HERE.
AT 7 O'CLOCK ON DAN HAGGERTY.
SO THE MANHUNT DOES CONTINUE
NOW FOR THE PERSON WHO SHOT AND
KILLED CHARLIE KIRK. THE 31
YEAR-OLD CONSERVATIVE ACTIVISTS
WHO WAS ASSASSINATED YESTERDAY.
>> DURING ONE OF HIS EVENTS AT
A COLLEGE IN UTAH. SO HERE ARE
THE THINGS THAT THAT STAND OUT
HERE AT THIS HOUR. SO THE FBI
NOW OFFERING A $100,000 REWARD
FOR ANY INFORMATION LEADING TO
AN ARREST, SOMETHING THAT WAS
QUITE INTERESTING RELEASED
TODAY. THE ATF AGENTS THERE
INVESTIGATING THE GUNMAN LIKELY
WAS NOT AN EXPERT MARKSMAN AND
KIRK'S CASKET WAS FLOWN TO
ARIZONA EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON.
NOW WE HAVE SEEN A RESPONSE TO
ALL OF THIS IN OUR AREA TODAY.
RIP CHARLIE AND SOME OTHER
MESSAGES WERE PAINTED INSIDE
THE FREE EXPRESSION TUNNEL ON
NC STATE'S CAMPUS.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE MURAL GOT
VANDALIZED AFTER WE GOT THIS
VIDEO. NOW I WANT TO BRING YOU
THERE LIVE TO THE CAMPUS ON NC
STATE WHERE STUDENTS ARE
HOLDING A VIGIL AT THE SHOWER,
NOT JUST FOR CHARLIE KERFOOT
FOR THE LIVES LOST ON 9.11,
WRAL'S. HEIDI KIRK IS THERE
NOW HIGH.
>> WELL, DAN, JUST THE LAST 30
MINUTES OR SO, WE'VE REALLY
SEEN THE ROOM, BUT STILL OUT
HERE WITH STUDENTS GOING TO
TAKE THAT NEXT STEP OF THE WAY
TO A LAW AND IS GOING ON HERE.
>> JUST WITHIN THE NEXT 30
MINUTES OR SO. AGAIN, THAT
VIGIL IS FROM 7.30, TO 9
O'CLOCK TONIGHT. NOW WE'VE BEEN
TALKING TO STUDENTS ON CAMPUS.
AND OF COURSE, THIS IS NOT JUST
A STUDENT OF THAT. ANYONE FROM
THE COMMUNITY CAN ATTEND THIS.
THEY SAY IT'S BEEN HEAVY ON
THEIR HEARTS, ESPECIALLY BEING
HERE ON A CAMPUS TODAY, GIVEN
THAT THIS TRAGEDY HAPPENED ON A
CAMPUS IN UTAH. GO AHEAD AND
TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT ONE
STUDENT HAD TO SAY.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU TO
HAVE IT? AND THEN HOW LIKE THIS
ON CAMPUS?
>> I USE A LOT. I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THE
PEOPLE THAT LOST THEIR LIVES
IN SERVICE TO THE COUNTRY AND
ALSO TOO.
REMEMBER SOMEONE WHO HAS GOTTEN
SO MANY PEOPLE IN TOO, ALL IT
TAKES.
>> AND OF COURSE, THAT'S A
MESSAGE THAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING
FROM STUDENTS PRETTY MUCH OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND
HERE ON NC STATE'S CAMPUS
TODAY. NOW, I WILL MENTION
THEY'VE UP SECURITY FOR THIS
VIGIL TODAY. THEY HAVE MULTIPLE
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS HERE
ON CAMPUS AS WE SPEAK, NOT
ALLOWING ANY STUDENTS TO BRING
IN BACKPACKS OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT. AND THEY DO HAVE
COUNSELORS ON STANDBY. WE'LL
CONTINUE TO BRING YOU COVERAGE
ON THIS ALL NIGHT LONG. HEIDI
