Tavia Hunt is mourning after Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on Wednesday at a student debate at Utah Valley University.He was standing under a white gazebo, talking to a crowd of over 3,000 people when a bullet hit his neck. Kirk's security team rushed him to the hospital, but he did not make it.Chiefs owner Clark Hunt's wife shared her sadness on Instagram. She posted a photo of Kirk with his wife, Erika Frantzve."Whether speaking to thousands or answering the question of a single student, he modeled the kind of dialogue our culture desperately needs: patient, respectful, articulate, and unafraid," Tavia wrote."Charlie welcomed dissent, inviting those who disagreed to the front of the line for honest and winsome discourse. He showed us how conviction and consideration for others can coexist, and he left an enduring example of what it means to engage in respectful disagreement without compromise."Tavia also quoted a line from St. Augustine.“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints… their tongues are silent, their deeds echo around the world…” Tavia wrote. "Evil does not have the final word. Jesus does."
