AN ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION ON. THE GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA. AND WE HAD AN ATTEMPTED. ASSASSINATION ON A PRESIDENTIAL. CANDIDATE AND FORMER PRESIDENT. OF THE UNITED STATES AND NOW. CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED. STATES. WE JUST NEED EVERY. SINGLE PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY. TO THINK ABOUT WHERE WE ARE AND. WHERE WE WANT TO BE, TO ASK.

OURSELVES, IS THIS IS THIS IT? >> KIRK, JUST 31 YEARS OLD, WITH A WIFE AND TWO YOUNG. CHILDREN, A FORCE IN THE. PRESIDENT'S MAGA MOVEMENT. >> HE'S DONE AN AMAZING JOB. HE'S DONE SOMETHING THAT IS. JUST INCREDIBLE FOR SOMEBODY. REALLY OF HIS AGE. YOU NEED. TREMENDOUS TALENT TO DO WHAT. HE'S DONE. >> MOBILIZING YOUNG. CONSERVATIVES ACROSS THE. COUNTRY WITH RALLIES ON COLLEGE. CAMPUSES, HE HOSTED ONE OF THE. NATION'S MOST POPULAR PODCASTS. AND WAS GIVEN A KEY SPEAKING.

SLOT AT LAST YEAR'S REPUBLICAN. NATIONAL CONVENTION, WHERE HE. TALKED ABOUT GOING TO COLLEGES. AND ENGAGING IN DEBATE. >> I'M CHARLIE KIRK, FOUNDER OF. TURNING POINT USA AND TURNING. POINT ACTION. I TALKED TO A LOT. OF YOUNG PEOPLE ON CAMPUSES AT. OUR EVENTS, ON MY RADIO SHOW, PODCAST AND SOCIAL MEDIA SAID. DIFFERENTLY, I VISIT COLLEGE. CAMPUSES SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO. >> THE CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE, KIRK SAID HE WAS NO STRANGER TO.

DEATH THREATS. >> WE GET DEATH THREATS ALL THE. TIME. YOU KNOW, THEY COME, THEY. SEND STUFF TO OUR HOMES AND ALL. THAT. AND YEAH, AND THAT'S. THAT'S JUST PAR FOR THE COURSE. I MEAN, IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING. ACTIVE DEATH THREATS, YOU'RE. NOT REALLY DOING MUCH FOR THE. COUNTRY. >> AND TONIGHT, THE PRESIDENT. ANNOUNCING THAT KIRK DID NOT. SURVIVE. >> CHARLIE INSPIRED MILLIONS. AND TONIGHT, ALL WHO KNEW HIM. AND LOVED HIM ARE UNITED IN. SHOCK AND HORROR. CHARLIE WAS A. PATRIOT WHO DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO. THE CAUSE OF OPEN DEBATE AND. THE COUNTRY THAT HE LOVED SO.

MUCH, THE UNITED STATES OF. AMERICA. HE FOUGHT FOR LIBERTY, DEMOCRACY, JUSTICE, AND THE. AMERICAN PEOPLE. HE'S A MARTYR. FOR TRUTH AND FREEDOM, AND. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYONE WHO. WAS SO RESPECTED BY YOUTH. THIS. IS A DARK MOMENT FOR AMERICA. >> AND DAVID, LAW ENFORCEMENT. HAS SHUT DOWN THAT CAMPUS. THEY'VE EVACUATED THE BUILDINGS. EYEWITNESSES TELLING ME THAT. THEY'VE BEEN SEEING LAW. ENFORCEMENT GO CLASSROOM TO. CLASSROOM. NOW, WE UNDERSTAND. THAT CHARLIE KIRK DID TRAVEL. WITH SECURITY, BUT LAW.

ENFORCEMENT TELLS US THEY HAD. NO CREDIBLE OR SPECIFIC THREATS. AGAINST HIM BEFORE THIS EVENT. DAVID. >> MATT GUTMAN LEADING US OFF. HERE ON A VERY DIFFICULT NIGHT. THANK YOU. SO LET'S GET RIGHT. TO OUR CHIEF JUSTICE. CORRESPONDENT, PIERRE THOMAS. I. KNOW IT'S VERY EARLY IN THIS. INVESTIGATION, PIERRE, BUT WE. DID HEAR FROM AUTHORITIES ABOUT. WHAT WAS PICKED UP ON THAT VERY. GRAINY SURVEILLANCE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. DAVID, POLICE. DID NOT GIVE ANY SPECIFICS. OTHER THAN TO SAY THAT THERE IS. SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE OF A. PERSON WEARING ALL BLACK THAT. THEY ARE STUDYING. THEY BELIEVE. THAT THE SHOT THAT KILLED KIRK.

WAS FIRED FROM A HIGHER. LOCATION THAN THE VENUE WHERE. KIRK WAS SPEAKING. THERE WAS. SOME CONFUSION EARLIER TODAY. BECAUSE AN ELDERLY MAN WAS. TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. IN THE. MOMENTS AFTER THE ATTACK, WE. ARE TOLD IT WAS DETERMINED THAT. HE IS NOT THE SHOOTER AND HAS. BEEN CLEARED. AUTHORITIES ARE. CANVASING FOR MORE SURVEILLANCE. FOOTAGE, TALKING TO WITNESSES. ABOUT WHAT THEY SAW, ASKING FOR. ANY VIDEO THEY MAY HAVE. RECORDED, AND THEY'RE ALSO. LOOKING FOR A SINGLE SHELL. CASING THAT COULD BE TIED TO. THE SHOOTING, OR ANYTHING ELSE. THE SHOOTER MAY HAVE LEFT.

BEHIND. THIS IS VERY MUCH AN. ACTIVE AND ONGOING. INVESTIGATION. DAVID. >> AND ONE MORE QUESTION BEFORE. I LET YOU GO, PIERRE, BECAUSE. WE SAW THE IMAGES OF THE CROWD. RACING FROM THE SCENE WITH. PANIC IN THEIR FACES, AND THAT. IS COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE. GIVEN WHAT THEY WITNESSED JUST. A FEW FEET FROM WHERE THEY WERE. WE HEARD FROM AUTHORITIES THERE. WHO CONFIRMED THAT THIS SHOT. WAS ACTUALLY TAKEN, AND WE'VE. CERTAINLY SEEN THIS BEFORE. IT'S BELIEVED, AT LEAST AT THIS. POINT, FROM FROM ANOTHER. STRUCTURE RIGHT THERE ON CAMPUS, NOT FAR AWAY. OKAY.

>> DAVID, WE OFTEN SEE IN THESE. SITUATIONS WHERE THE SHOT IS. FIRED FROM A HIGHER PERCH. LOCATION. THIS IS EXACTLY THE. SCENARIO WE SAW IN THE. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION AGAINST. PRESIDENT TRUMP WHEN HE WAS. RUNNING FOR OFFICE LAST YEAR. THIS IS AN ONGOING SITUATION, AND I SPOKE TO OFFICIALS TODAY. AND OFFICIALS TODAY WHO SAID, LOOK, OPEN VENUES OUTSIDE, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO. REASSESS HOW THESE THINGS ARE. SECURED. >> OPEN VENUES. AND THERE WERE. MANY WITNESSES WHO SAID THERE. WERE NO QUESTIONS ASKED WHEN. YOU ARRIVED, ACTUALLY, AT THIS. EVENT, VERY LITTLE SCREENING, IF ANY SCREENING AT ALL. SO A.

LOT OF QUESTIONS MOVING FORWARD. PIERRE THOMAS, OUR CHIEF. JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT PIERRE, THANKS SO MUCH. PRESIDENT TRUMP. MEANWHILE, LATE TODAY TALKING. WITH OUR JONATHAN KARL ABOUT. THE DEATH OF CHARLIE KIRK. SO I. WANT TO BRING IN JOHN TONIGHT. JOHN, YOU WERE TELLING ME. EARLIER THAT THIS PHONE CALL. WAS RELATIVELY BRIEF, BUT YOU. COULD HEAR IT IN THE. PRESIDENT'S VOICE. WHAT DID HE. TELL YOU ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK? >> DAVID, FIRST I HAVE TO SAY, HE SOUNDED GENUINELY SHAKEN. I. SPOKE TO HIM BEFORE WE ACTUALLY. LEARNED DEFINITIVELY THAT.

CHARLIE KIRK HAD DIED. HE. CLEARLY ALREADY KNEW THE NEWS, PROBABLY HAD JUST RECENTLY. LEARNED IT. AND HERE'S WHAT HE. SAID TO ME WHEN I SAID TO HIM, THIS IS JUST HORRIFIC. HE SAID, IT IS HORRIFIC. IT'S ONE OF THE. MOST HORRIBLE THINGS I'VE EVER. SEEN. HE WAS A GREAT GUY. THE. PRESIDENT SAID HE WAS AN. INCREDIBLE GUY. NOBODY LIKED. HIM. AND THEN HE ACTUALLY SAID. TO ME, HE LIKED YOU. I DON'T. KNOW WHY, BUT HE LIKED YOU. AND. I HAVE TO SAY ONE THING ABOUT.

CHARLIE KIRK, BECAUSE HE WAS AS. CRITICAL OF THE NEWS MEDIA AS. ANYBODY IN THE MAGA MOVEMENT, BUT HE WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO. ENGAGE. AND IN THE. CONVERSATIONS THAT I HAD WITH. HIM, THE MOST RECENT ONE, JUST. A FEW WEEKS AGO, HE WAS ALWAYS. PLEASANT AND SEEMED EAGER TO. ENGAGE, EAGER TO HAVE A. CONVERSATION JUST LIKE YOU HAVE. SEEN HIM ON THESE CAMPUS EVENTS. THAT HE HAS. HE GOES AND HE. TAKES QUESTIONS FROM PEOPLE WHO. FIND HIS VIEWS TO BE.

CONTROVERSIAL, TO BE OFFENSIVE. HE LISTENS TO THE CRITIQUE. HE. TELLS HIS SUPPORTERS TO BE. RESPECTFUL, AND HE ENGAGES IN A. DEBATE. IT'S SOMETHING, FRANKLY, THAT IS ALL TOO RARE IN THE. COUNTRY TODAY. AND IT WAS. SOMETHING THAT CHARLIE KIRK, PARTICULARLY IN RECENT MONTHS, HAD BEEN DOING MORE AND MORE. >> AND A QUICK FOLLOW UP TO YOU, JOHN, BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT. THOSE IMAGES OF THE CROWD. RUNNING FOR COVER, RUNNING TO. SAFETY, IT'S BECAUSE THEY WERE. STANDING WITHIN JUST A FEW FEET. OF CHARLIE KIRK, AND HE WAS, IN.

FACT, ENGAGING IN THE DEBATE. THE SAME KIND OF DEBATE THAT. YOU SPEAK OF. THIS IS WHAT HE. TRAVELED THE COUNTRY TRYING TO. DO ON CAMPUSES. HE WAS TRYING. TO RECRUIT YOUNG PEOPLE INTO. THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT, BUT. HE WAS OPEN TO ALL OPINIONS, AND HE WAS ENGAGING IN THIS. MOMENT THAT HE WAS SHOT. TODAY. ON A QUESTION ABOUT MASS. SHOOTINGS IN AMERICA, WILLING. TO TAKE ON THE ISSUES. AND THEN. THEY WATCHED TO UNBELIEVABLE. HORROR WHAT PLAYED OUT RIGHT IN. FRONT OF THEM. >> I MEAN, JUST HORRIFIC. DAVID. HE WANTED TO ENGAGE WITH PEOPLE.

WHO DISAGREED WITH HIM. IT WAS. PART OF THE PART OF THE SHOW, PART OF WHAT HE WAS DOING. AND. IT WASN'T JUST ON COLLEGE. CAMPUSES. YOU KNOW, WHEN GAVIN. NEWSOM STARTED HIS NEW PODCAST, HIS VERY FIRST GUEST WAS. CHARLIE KIRK, AND CHARLIE KIRK. WENT IN ON THERE TO ENGAGE WITH. A PROMINENT DEMOCRATIC LEADER. >> JOHN KARL, IN WASHINGTON, AFTER HIS PHONE CALL WITH. PRESIDENT TRUMP. JOHN, WE. APPRECIATE IT. THE PRESIDENT. TONIGHT ASKING THAT FLAGS BE. FLOWN AT HALF STAFF. AND THERE. ARE CALLS FROM REPUBLICANS AND. DEMOCRATS TONIGHT TO TAKE DOWN. THE TEMPERATURE IN THIS COUNTRY. TO STOP THE POLITICAL VIOLENCE.

MARY BRUCE IS LIVE WITH US FROM. THE WHITE HOUSE. AND, MARY, I. KNOW THE SECRET SERVICE IS ALSO. OUT WITH A STATEMENT THIS. EVENING REITERATING THAT THEY. HAVE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF. SECURITY IN PLACE FOR THE. PRESIDENT. >> THEY ARE. DAVID, THE SECRET. SERVICE TONIGHT REASSURING THE. AMERICAN PUBLIC THAT THEY. ADJUST THEIR POSTURE AS NEEDED. TO RESPOND TO EVOLVING THREATS, BUT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP DOES. HAVE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF. PROTECTION TONIGHT. DAVID, THIS. WHITE HOUSE IS IN MOURNING. THEY WERE INCREDIBLY CLOSE. CHARLIE KIRK, WITH THIS. ADMINISTRATION, WE HAVE SEEN.

FLAGS LOWERED HERE AT THE WHITE. HOUSE AND AROUND THE COUNTRY. AND ON CAPITOL HILL. A MOMENT. OF SILENCE. AND FROM BOTH SIDES. OF THE AISLE TONIGHT, THOSE. STRONG CONDEMNATIONS OF. POLITICAL VIOLENCE, THOSE CALLS. TO DIAL DOWN THE NATIONAL. TEMPERATURE. KAMALA HARRIS, WHO. FACED OFF WITH TRUMP IN A RACE. WHERE KIRK PLAYED A CRITICAL. ROLE, SAYING, LET ME BE CLEAR, POLITICAL VIOLENCE HAS NO PLACE. IN AMERICA, ADDING WE ALL MUST. WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THIS.

DOES NOT LEAD TO MORE VIOLENCE. >> DAVID AND MARY WITH JUST A. FEW MOMENTS LEFT, I KNOW. CHARLIE KIRK WAS NOT AN. OFFICIAL ADVISER WORKING AT THE. WHITE HOUSE, BUT HE WAS WELL. KNOWN WITHIN THE HALLS OF THE. WEST WING THERE. THEY ALL KNEW. HIM AND THEY WERE IN TOUCH WITH. HIM VERY FREQUENTLY, INCLUDING. THE PRESIDENT. >> DAVID, THEY WERE INCREDIBLY. CLOSE, NOT JUST POLITICALLY, BUT PERSONALLY. CHARLIE KIRK. WAS A FORCE IN THIS. ADMINISTRATION. AS THE LEADER. OF THIS MOVEMENT. HE REALLY HAD. HIS FINGER ON THE PULSE OF. YOUNG CONSERVATIVES IN THIS. COUNTRY. BUT HE ALSO PLAYED A.

PIVOTAL ROLE BEHIND THE SCENES. HERE, ADVISING THE PRESIDENT. PRESIDENT TRUMP TRUSTS HIM. HE. WAS A LOYAL COMPANION AND. ADVISER, EVEN ADVISING HIM ON. POLITICAL APPOINTEES DURING THE. TRANSITION. THIS IS A HUGE LOSS. POLITICALLY AND PERSONALLY FOR. THE PRESIDENT, HIS FAMILY AND. THIS ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION. DAVID. >> ALL RIGHT. MARY BRUCE AT THE. WHITE HOUSE, MARY, AND OUR. ENTIRE TEAM ON THIS TONIGHT. WE. APPRECIATE ALL OF THE REPORTING. WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THIS AS WE. LEARN IT IN THE MEANTIME. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS NOT THE. ONLY HORRIFIC SHOOTING PLAYING.
