Politicians Cancel Public Events, Citing Security Concerns in Wake of Charlie Kirk Killing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At least two members of Congress canceled events Thursday, citing
security concerns in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder - Republican
Congressmember Nancy Mace and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The New
York Yankees tightened security ahead of a game with the Detroit Tigers
attended by President Trump, who watched through bulletproof glass.
Trump was roundly booed.
