@chrishardman Hi Chris, my name is Sejal Govindarao. I'm a reporter with the Associated Press. I hope you are staying safe. Would you be willing to connect me with the person who took this video? Please DM me a phone number where I can reach you. Thanks very much.

Charlie Kirk was answering a question about rampant left-wing violence in America when he was shot today. You can hear the crack of a rifle in this video from approximately 100 yards. I am burning with righteous anger. Pray right now for Charlie and his family.

@GrrrGraphics Hi, I'm a reporter with the Associated Press. We are interested in speaking with your son and obtaining any video/ photos he took at the scene. Can you please DM me a phone number where I can reach him? Thanks very much, hope you are all staying safe.

Plane crash at the Kalispell MT City Airport- looking for more news on it- just happened. I have no details. My son took the street photo. I hope no one was injured.
