Charlie Kirk’s Wife Vows To Carry On Fight

Investigators had appeared to be making slow progress in the hunt for whoever gunned down Donald Trump’s close ally, until they released security camera images of a young man.

“We got him,” Utah Governor Spencer Cox told a press conference early Friday, identifying the suspect as Tyler Robinson, 22, who had reportedly been confronted by his father over the pictures and then turned in.

The 31-year-old Kirk was hit by a single bullet while addressing a large crowd at Utah Valley University in the town of Orem on Wednesday.

Kirk was an electrifying presence on the US right, with a huge young following that helped Trump win the election last November.
A heartbroken Erika Kirk on Friday mourned the loss of “the perfect father…the perfect husband.”

“The evil-doers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done,” she said in a live video address.

“The movement my husband built will not die. It won’t. I refuse to let that happen,” she said.

Kirk’s murder has consumed America for 48 hours, capturing almost all cable news coverage, while Trump has ordered flags to fly at half-mast.
Kirk’s hardline views on race, gender, gun ownership, and other hot-button issues made him an intensely divisive figure, although even opponents praised his willingness to debate.
