Morristown (US), Sep 14: After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, US political leaders face rising security fears and emotional strain. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, whose home was recently targeted, spoke of the toll on his family.
Politicians from both parties are boosting security or canceling events, while some, like Maryland Governor Wes Moore, vow to continue public duties.
Violent rhetoric is escalating, with figures like Elon Musk blaming the left. Shapiro and Moore criticized Trump for politicizing the tragedy, urging unity instead.
Despite fear, many Americans remain committed to civic engagement, refusing to be silenced by violence. (AP)
