The funeral will be livestreamed, with many from the community expected to pay their respects. The suspected shooter, Vance Boelter, faces serious charges for the crimes. This incident, along with previous attacks on political figures, marks a concerning escalation of violence in American politics, prompting discussions about safety for elected officials and the underlying causes of such hostility.
