Charlie Kirk tributes pour in across U.S.
FOX 11's Nic Garcia was in Beverly Hills as a vigil was held for pro-Trump influencer Charlie Kirk.
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. - Hundreds filled Beverly Hills Garden Park Sunday afternoon for a rally and vigil in honor of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
"We're not a nation of violence. This is not fair. I'm just here to support," said Jenny Leeser.
Kirk spent his adult life speaking on college campuses after founding the conservative group Turning Point USA. Many of his visits faced pushback from students who viewed him as controversial. Other students welcomed his views.
"I saw everything happening with Charlie, and I felt very hurt about it because he was someone who talked a lot about freedom and freedom of speech, which is something I really agreed with," said Pierce College student Jonathan Geoola.
