The assassination of Charlie Kirk marked a pivotal and life-changing moment for men, women and families who gathered to mourn the charismatic conservative leader at the Phoenix headquarters of the Turning Point movement he founded and grew into a national political force.
Solemn individuals and young families with children dropped off flowers, shed tears and embraced oneanother in the moments and hours after Kirk's slaying . Strangers called each other "brother" and "sister," and knelt to pray, asking God to heal and comfort Kirk's wife and their children.
