Overview
- Hundreds gathered Sunday evening at Pensacola's Graffiti Bridge for a candlelight vigil featuring a newly painted portrait of Charlie Kirk.
- Around 6:20 p.m., a fight broke out during an attempt to deface the mural, and police say pepper spray was used.
- EMS transported the sprayed individual to a hospital, the suspected sprayer fled before officers arrived, and no arrests have been made.
- The mural was defaced again later and then painted over, with local volunteers subsequently covering the area with Bible verses and positive messages.
- Some defacements were reported to include politically charged phrases, and attendees said the vigil continued peacefully after a brief disruption.
