Chaos erupted in the House as Speaker Mike Johnson attempted a prayer for Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated at Utah Valley University. Kirk, 31, founder of Turning Point USA, was shot in the neck and died hours later, leaving lawmakers on both sides reeling.

The moment of silence quickly turned contentious as some Democrats protested, shouting about gun control instead of joining the prayer, sparking outrage from Republicans like Anna Paulina Luna. Lawmakers expressed shock, grief, and calls to denounce political violence, highlighting the deep divisions in Congress.
