Charlie Kirk’s wife shared a chilling post before he was assassinated.
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been confirmed dead after a campus shooting in Utah, leaving political circles reeling.
The rise of Charlie Kirk highlighted.
At just 18, Kirk founded Turning Point USA, quickly transforming it into a national conservative powerhouse.
By his twenties, Kirk was speaking at CPAC and advising GOP leaders on youth outreach strategies.
A close ally of Trump, he became one of the most influential pro-MAGA voices online.
Critics accused him of spreading misinformation, but his supporters praised him for “telling it like it is.”
Kirk often toured universities, sparking fiery debates with students and earning millions of online views.
To fans, he was a defender of free speech; to opponents, a polarizing provocateur.
The fatal shooting profiled.
The attack happened during a packed event at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Wednesday, September 10.
Kirk was addressing a large crowd of students when the deadly shot rang out.
Social media videos show Kirk speaking when a loud bang interrupts the event.
He appeared to be struck in the neck before collapsing backward in his chair.
Students scattered as chaos broke out, while others rushed to Kirk’s side.
Emma Pitts of Deseret News said Kirk was answering a question on mass shootings when the gunfire erupted.
Pitts told CNN: “We just saw Charlie Kirk’s neck turn to the side, and it appeared he had been shot in the neck.”
Authorities later confirmed shots were fired from a building 200 yards away from the event.
UVU officials initially said a suspect was in custody, but later clarified the person detained was not the shooter.
Trump’s statement confirmed.
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce Kirk’s passing in a heartfelt statement.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” Trump wrote, praising his influence on America’s youth.
“No one understood the Heart of the Youth better than Charlie,” Trump declared.
The First Lady joined her husband in extending sympathies to Kirk’s wife, Erika, and family.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche condemned the killing as a “senseless act of violence.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson declared: “Political violence has become all too common in American society.”
California’s Governor labeled the attack “disgusting, vile, and reprehensible.”
The haunting final post revealed.
Kirk shared one last haunting message online minutes before he was shot.
He wrote about the killing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a refugee who died in North Carolina.
“It was politics that allowed a savage monster with 14 priors to be free on the streets to kill her,” Kirk posted.
One user responded: “If this was your final statement, rest assured it will be taken to heart.”
Kirk’s message, shared just moments before his own death, is now seen as chillingly prophetic.
Kirk’s wife also posted just before he was shot.
She wrote on X: “Psalm 46:1 – God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Kirk’s final post before death goes viral.
Kirk was transported to a nearby hospital but was later pronounced dead despite efforts to save him.
His wife, Erika, has not yet issued a public statement following the tragedy.
Leaders across party lines are demanding an end to political bloodshed in the country.
His haunting last words have since flooded social media, leaving supporters and critics alike stunned.
Kirk’s last words before the fatal shot was fired.
He was asked by a supporter: “Do you know many transgender Americans have been shooters over the last 10 years?”
Kirk replied ‘too many’.
The same person asked how many mass shooters there had been in America over the last 10 years.
Kirk’s final words were: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”
