PITTSBURG, Calif. - As the investigation into the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk moves forward, crowds across the country continue to gather in his memory.
Local perspective:
On Monday night, students and community members held a vigil at Los Medanos College in Pittsburg, organized by the campus chapter of Turning Point USA, the organization Kirk founded.
"With these candles, let them shine as a reminder that even in darkness, Charlie’s legacy will continue to guide us," one speaker told the crowd.
Dozens attended the gathering, describing Kirk as a figure who encouraged debate and free expression on college campuses.
"I just think it’s amazing, his ability to go on college campuses and spur on good conversation between all different types of people," said Kaiden True
