Charlie Kirk’s wife Erika shares intimate footage from aftermath of assassination
Erika Kirk, widow of political influencer and right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, released a heartbreaking video at the weekend, days after her husband’s assassination.
Kirk was speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University last Wednesday, September 10, when he was shot through the neck in the middle of answering a question about mass shootings in the US.
Following a concentrated manhunt for the shooter, 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson, of Utah, was reportedly turned into authorities by his own father two days later on Friday.
Tributes have poured in for Kirk from around the world, with notable figures on both the left and right sides of US politics speaking out against the shooting.
Among them was President Donald Trump – for whom Kirk was a staunch ally – who promised that his administration would find “each and every one of those who contributed this atrocity … including the organizations that fund and support it.”
Days out from the horrifying slaying of Kirk, his widow, Erika Kirk, posted an emotional tribute on her Instagram page, composed of a series of images and videos, including a video of her standing at the side of her late husband’s open casket.
