People mourned the life and legacy of political activist Charlie Kirk, including at UC Berkeley's chapter of Turning Point USA, the nonprofit he created.

The group's first meeting of the year was scheduled for Wednesday, but it turned into an event to remember Kirk, who had been assassinated earlier in the day at an appearance at Utah Valley University .

"It's really sad," said Turning Point member Camilla Bergstrom. "It's been really difficult to focus on things today. it's just really heavy hearted."

Bergstrom told CBS News Bay Area that she is still in shock after hearing Kirk was killed and is struggling to process it.

"Really anxious, I had to skip multiple classes today," Bergstrom explained.
