Hundreds gathered at The AMP in Brighton Sunday evening to remember Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley University last week.

Some estimated the crowd between 2,500 and 5,000.

Another remembrance is scheduled at 6 pm Thursday in Howell, hosted by Livingston County Commissioner Jay Drick and wife Deb, on the lawn of the Historic Courthouse.

Deb Drick says she hopes the event will share a message to shun violence in all forms as a means to an end.

"Charlie's words and works need to be affirmed and not lost," she said. "When a man of calm debate is shot down in front of his children, it's a sign things have gone too far."

State Rep. Jason Woolford, and some who worked with Turning Point USA are scheduled to speak.
