The Latest: Pence: 'Of course' Trump not urging violence

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Latest on Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence (all times local):

5:34 p.m. Tuesday

Mike Pence says Donald Trump was "of course not" encouraging violence against Hillary Clinton during a speech earlier Tuesday.

Trump's vice presidential nominee was asked about Trump's remark that there may be something Second Amendment supporters "can do" to stop Clinton if she nominates judges opposed it.

Pence says Trump was instead saying that gun rights supporters "should be involved in the political process and let their voice be heard." Pence made his comments to a Philadelphia NBC News reporter following a Pence town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Pence is responding to Trump's comments at a rally earlier today that, "If (Clinton) gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."

Asked if Trump was inferring violent acts against Clinton, Pence says, "Of course not, no."

Pence says, "he speaks from his heart, he speaks from his mind."

Mike Pence says he met with the parents of a young woman who was killed in a car accident by a driver who was living in the country illegally.

Donald Trump's running mate campaigned Monday night in Council Bluffs, Iowa, in a convention center where the young woman's college graduation ceremony was held.

Sarah Root was killed earlier this year after her car was hit by another. News reporters say the driver, who was drunk, was a Honduran immigrant living in the country illegally. The man fled after he was released from jail on bond and has not been found.

Pence says he had a private meeting with Root's parents and brother. He says he feels pain for the family, "not as a candidate, not as a governor, just as a dad." He says a Trump-Pence administration will sign "Sarah's Law," a bill introduced by Iowa senators to tighten laws around people living here illegally who commit crimes.
