Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said the House of Representatives is evaluating “all the options” to increase member security following the assassination of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday.

In the wake of Kirk’s murder at the hands of suspected gunman 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, lawmakers have reportedly been moving events indoors and speaking out in fear of their own safety. Johnson discussed member security during his appearances on both Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream and CBS News’s Face the Nation, saying he has been speaking with several representatives this week to calm their nerves.
