STORYLINE:
Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and close ally of President Donald Trump, was shot and killed Wednesday during an event at a Utah college—an attack that has renewed concerns about political violence in the United States.
The Associated Press gathered immediate reactions from some Republican lawmakers following the shooting.
“Just because you speak your mind on an issue doesn’t mean you get shot, and killed," said Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina.
The shooting comes amid a rise in politically motivated violence across the ideological spectrum in the United States.
