President Donald Trump has announced he is awarding murdered
conservative activist Charlie Kirk the medal of freedom, the US'
highest civilian award.
It comes as the manhunt for Kirk's killer continues.
Police say a rifle has been recovered from the scene of the shooting
at Utah Valley university, and they have video of a suspect seen
running away.
Trump has called the killing a "heinous assassination" which again
puts US political violence in the spotlight.
President Trump made the medal announcement during a speech to mark
the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
IN: "Charlie...."
OUT: "...crowd."
