Donald Trump has blamed "the radical left" for the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, while authorities announced they had no suspect in custody after hours of confused statements.
In an Oval Office address, the US president has vowed retribution while providing a list of incidents of what he termed "radical left" political violence, including the attempt to kill him last year, the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the 2017 shooting of Republican congressman Steve Scalise and what he called "the attacks on Ice agents".
In the first six months of this year the US had about 150 politically motivated attacks, said Mike Jensen, a University of Maryland researcher - nearly twice as many as in the same period last year.
Australian leaders have also condemned the fatal shooting, with the defence minister, Richard Marles, saying there is no place for political violence while adding Australia is lucky as many issues are debated "by and large in a civil way", and James Paterson expressing concern on behalf of the Coalition.

Holston posted two online videos of himself grappling with a freshwater and a juvenile saltwater crocodile in films he indicated were shot in north Queensland.
Irwin Sr issued a statement about Holston saying "this bloke clearly had no clue" how to handle a crocodile without putting it under dangerous stress, and was among those who said urgent reform was needed so "nature laws apply to social media".
