Council members and residents express condolences and note vigil after fatal incident
Multiple speakers used the final public comment period and council remarks to express condolences for Charles Kirk and his family and to note a vigil downtown.
A public commenter said, "I just wanna get my prayers and my thoughts for Charles Kirk and his wife, Erica, and their 2 children. He was a man of faith and morals and integrity, and he was killed practicing his first amendment right. There's certainly no place for this in our country."
Council members and other speakers acknowledged the comment and noted a vigil scheduled downtown at 7:45 p.m. the following day, as announced on the record. Several council members offered condolences and invited residents to attend if they wished; no formal council action or proclamation was taken during the meeting.
The remarks occurred during the final public-comment period and council member updates; the transcript does not provide additional details about the incident beyond the public commenter's statements or any official investigation status.
