Utah Gov. Spencer Cox visited Utah Valley University on Wednesday, calling for unity as students returned to campus following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Students clustered silently, staring down at the barricaded courtyard where Kirk was killed during a speaking event more than a week ago. Care stations offering stuffed animals, candy and connections to counseling dotted the campus on the first day of classes since the shooting.

“I know some of you are angry, and you deserve to be angry. I’m not here to tell you not to be angry. All I’m here to say is what you do with that anger, that’s what determines where we go from here,” Cox said. “This is either the end of something terrible and the beginning of something better or the beginning of something far worse. And I don’t get to make that choice. I wish I could, but you do. All of us together as Americans, we get to make that choice.”

On Tuesday, prosecutors charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with capital murder and announced they will seek the death penalty while revealing a series of incriminating messages and DNA evidence that they say connect Robinson to the killing of Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and confidant of President Donald Trump.

Since the shooting, the Republican president has threatened to crack down on what he calls the “radical left” and classifying some groups as domestic terrorists. Former Democratic President Barack Obama said this week that Trump has further divided the country rather than work to bring people together.

On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee called on the chief executives of Discord, Steam, Twitch and Reddit to testify on how they are regulating their platforms to prevent violence.
