From the article:
“Local perspective:
There was that prayer vigil tonight on the campus of the University of Maryland hosted by the school’s chapter of Turning Point USA.
It was closed to the public but afterwards, FOX 5 asked several students in attendance what they prayed for tonight.
"I prayed for our nation that we can use this as a moment to come together, instead of this being a moment for it to keep spiraling," UMD sophomore Zach Cecere said.
"I prayed for his family more than anything. It kills me to think a man that is a father and a husband, his life would be taken just because he dared to say what he thought," said William Costlow, another UMD sophomore.
UMD’s chapter of Turning Point USA is one of more than 800 across the country on college campuses, according to the organization.”
