00:00Almost a week after Charlie Kirk was killed, America is left dealing with the aftermath
00:04of several high-profile incidents of political violence within the last year.
00:09Developments in many of these cases unfolded Tuesday.
00:12The suspected shooter in Charlie Kirk's assassination, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, is facing formal
00:18charges of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, and obstructing justice in a
00:23Utah court.
00:24A Manhattan judge has dismissed two terrorism-related murder charges against Luigi Mangione, the
00:30man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
00:34Court testimony continues this week in the federal trial against Ryan Ruth.
00:37Ruth has pled not guilty for charges related to an attempted assassination of the then-presidential
00:43candidate Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach Country Club in September of last year.
00:48A special election is underway in Minnesota to fill a state House seat previously held
00:53by Democratic Rep Melissa Hortman before she and her husband were assassinated in their
00:57own home in June.
00:59The accused killer also faces charges for the attempted murders of State Senator John Hoffman,
01:05also a Democrat, and his wife, who both sustained several gunshot wounds from rounds fired through
01:10their front door.
01:12Finally, in a speech Tuesday, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro addressed how political violence
01:17has affected him personally.
01:19In April, he and his family fled the governor's residence in the middle of the night after
01:23an alleged arsonist broke in and set it on fire in an attempt to kill Shapiro.
01:27But understand that political violence doesn't only affect those who are directly targeted or
01:35their loved ones.
01:36It affects all of us.
01:39It tears at the fabric of American society.
