Erika Kirk, widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, delivered an emotional livestream message thanking first responders and others who tried to save her husband after he was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
Charlie Kirk, 31, was killed while speaking at an outdoor campus event in Orem. The suspected shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, surrendered to authorities the following evening and was taken into custody.
In her address, Mrs. Kirk promised that her husband’s influence would endure. She confirmed that Turning Point USA, which Kirk co-founded, will hold a memorial on Sept. 21 at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, a venue that can seat over 60,000 people.
Speaking beside her husband’s empty chair at TPUSA’s Arizona headquarters, she reflected on his love for President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, their country, and their two young children. She also expressed deep appreciation for the White House, the Vances, her husband’s staff, and the emergency responders.
Erika Kirk directed a powerful message to those responsible for her husband’s death, declaring that their actions had ignited a “fire” in her that would resonate worldwide. She said Kirk’s campus tour and podcast will continue throughout the fall and beyond.
