""To my young friends, you are inheriting a country where politics feels like rage," he said. "Your generation has an opportunity to build a culture that is very different than what we are suffering through right now.""
"'You know, the type of person who would do something like that to Charlie Kirk would love to do it to us,'"

A 34-hour manhunt ended with an arrest in the murder of Charlie Kirk. Governor Spencer Cox announced the resolution and pleaded for peace, emphasizing generational responsibility to change political culture. The president called, warning that the presidency is dangerously exposed and citing statistics about past officeholders being shot or killed. Elected officials report high fear and concern for safety. Cox appeared exhausted after 48 hours without sleep and expressed unease when the suspect turned out to be a 22-year-old from a local Mormon family. Cox had privately hoped the perpetrator would not be someone from their own community.
