Donald Trump has said his supporters should respond peacefully to the killing of rightwing activist Charlie Kirk as the gunman continued to evade a manhunt more than 24 hours after the fatal shooting.

 

A day after Trump gave an inflammatory address blaming the “radical left” for the killing and pledging a wide-ranging response, the president agreed with a suggestion from a conservative reporter that his supporters should not respond with violence.

 

Trump said Kirk had been “an advocate of nonviolence” and “that’s the way I’d like to see people respond”.

 

The president cited “big progress” in the investigation while authorities said the gunman remained at large a day after 31-year-old Kirk – a close ally of Trump who drove youth recruitment to the president’s Maga movement – was fatally shot while addressing a crowd at a Utah university.

 

Here are the day’s key Trump administration stories at a glance.
