Who is the 22‑year‑old suspect held without bail for Charlie Kirk’s killing?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. The twenty two year old man accused of killing Charlie Kirk is being held without bail in Utah. And as Steve Futterman reports, Kirk's widow made her first public comments hours after escorting his body home to Arizona from Utah.
Erica Kirk blamed what she called evildoers for the death of her husband.
It won't. I refuse to let that happen.
Since Tuesday's killing, there have been vitriolic debates in public and on social media between supporters and opponents of Charlie Kirk. The governor of Utah Spencer Cox Friday urged people to take a break from social media. The tone he said must calm down.
Why did Utah’s governor urge citizens to take a break from social media after the murder?
This is our moment. Um do we escalate or do do we find an off-ramp? It's a choice.
Investigators are still trying to determine if some specific thing triggered Tyler Robinson. He will be formally charged next week.
Some Baltimore residents are feeling uneasy tonight as Maryland Governor Wesmore says he'll send state police into the city to patrol high risk areas.

Experiencing record low crime levels and is on track for the lowest homicide rate in half a century.
How are Maryland officials responding to unrest with state police patrols in Baltimore?
However, residents will soon see state police patrolling streets and possible checkpoints set up in neighborhoods. Here's Donald Gresham, a community leader.

It's not home. Some residents fear the focus will be on unnecessary arrests rather than directing resources toward healthcare and education. For NPR News, I'm Scott Massioni in Baltimore.
Of far right protest turned violent in London today.
What sparked the far‑right anti‑immigrant protest in London and how did counter‑demonstrators react?
Vicky Barker has this report from the British Capitol.
Chanting anti immigrant slogans and waving flags, though marchers, more than a hundred thousand police estimate, filled the streets of central London. And they heard the anti-immigrant, anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson tell them to savor the moment to feel their strength.
You are part of a tidal wave of patriotism that is sweeping across this country.
Britain, he said, has finally awoken. A few thousand counter demonstrators from the group Stand Up to Racism held their rally a few hundred yards away. For NPR News, I'm Vicky Barker in London.
And you're listening to NPR News. Paramount has issued a statement criticizing a letter signed earlier this week by more than four thousand Hollywood actors and filmmakers pledging to boycott Israeli film groups.
Why did Paramount condemn the Hollywood boycott of Israeli film groups?
As NPR's Chloe Veltman reports, Paramount is the first major studio to condemn this response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Paramount statement issued on Friday said it disagreed with the call to boycott Israeli filmmakers. Silencing individual creative artists based on their nationality does not promote better understanding or advance the cause of peace, the statement said. Well-known actors and directors such as Emma Stone, Gael Garcia Bernal, and Eva Duvenet have signed the letter, which went live online on Tuesday. In a response on Instagram to Paramount's criticism, their group issued a statement reiterating that the pledge does not ask people to avoid working with individual members of the Israeli film community, but rather Israeli film institutions involved in, quote, whitewashing or justifying Israel's genocide in Gaza.
