Erika Kirk vows continue work of Turning Point USA in honor of Charlie's legacy

Police have evacuated the area around Tyler Robinson's family home, according to Fox News.

Officers reportedly received 'concerning information' around the residence, Fox News reports.

Investigators have not revealed what prompted their concern, but said the information came from directly in front of the residence.

A police helicopter is flying above the middle-class neighborhood and reporters have been told to clear the area.

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson,22, was a registered voter but not affiliated with any political party in Utah, Reuters reported.

Public records showed he was an 'inactive' voter, meaning he did not cast a vote in the 2024 presidential elections - the first one he would have been old enough to vote in.

However, Robinson's grandmother told Daily Mail the alleged killer grew up in a Republican household.

Robinson does not have a criminal record.

Erika Kirk remembered her husband, Charlie Kirk, as a 'martyr' in her Friday evening remarks - her first public statement since her husband was fatally shot at an event Wednesday.

'Charlie will stand at his savior’s side wearing the glorious crown of a martyr,' she said.

She added that he 'wanted to be remembered for his courage and for his faith.'

The heartbroken widow also reflected on her husband’s passions and his love for his country.

'He loved his life. He loved America. He loved nature, which helped him always bring him closer to God. He loved the Chicago Cubs and, my goodness, did he love the Oregon Ducks.'

'Most of all,' she said, 'Charlie loved his children, and he loved me with all of his heart, and I knew that every day.'

During her emotional address, Erika Kirk, publicly thanked Vice President J.D. Vance, Second Lady Usha Vance, and President Donald Trump for their close friendship with her husband and their support following his assassination.

Erika described the vice president as a 'dear friend' of her late husband, expressing gratitude to the Vances 'for their love and support.'

'You guys honored my husband so well, bringing him home. You both are tremendous,' she said, fighting through tears.

She also addressed Trump directly, saying, 'My husband loved you and he knew that you loved him too. He did. Your friendship was amazing. You supported him so well, as did he for you.'

Charlie Kirk’s scheduled tour, of university campuses, 'The American Comeback Tour,' will continue after his killing, his wife, Erika Kirk, said Friday evening.

'There will be even more tours in the years to come,' she said.

Americafest, Turning Point USA’s annual conference, will still be held in Phoenix, Arizona, in December, she said.

'It will be greater than ever,' she said. 'The radio and podcast show that he was so proud of will go on.'

Social media erupted in outrage Friday night after major news networks MSNBC and CNN declined to air live remarks from Erika Kirk, the grieving widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Her emotional address was delivered during a livestream, marking her first public statement since her husband’s assassination.

'CNN and MSNBC are not taking the remarks of Erika Kirk live???' Mark Halperin wrote on X.

'It takes a lot to surprise me,' he added, writing, 'This is shocking. The BBC is taking it live!'

Despite the shocking assassination of its leader, The Charlie Kirk Show aired as scheduled on Friday.

The show opened with a seven-minute montage of photos and videos set to acoustic guitar, followed by executive producer Andrew Kolvet taking the mic.

'Charlie would’ve wanted us to be here,' he said, his voice heavy with emotion.

To his right, Kirk’s chair sat empty, a white '47' cap and small stuffed giraffe placed where his laptop used to be.

'No one will ever fill it,' Kolvet said. 'No one will ever hope to.'

Over the course of the hours-long episode, Kolvet and the co-hosts shared memories of Kirk’s faith, humor, and political vision.

The broadcast included calls from fans and acquaintances, and several montages.

Erika Kirk, wife of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, will make her first public address tonight since her husband’s assassination.

She is scheduled to speak at 8:15 p.m. ET, Turning Point USA announced in a news release.

A U.S. Marine has been fired over a social media post referring to Charlie Kirk as a 'racist man' who was 'popped.'

A screenshot circulating in conservative corners of social media appeared to show a post from a U.S. Marine Corps recruiter that read, 'Another racist man popped,' alongside an image of the slain conservative activist.

The U.S. Marine Corps has since confirmed that one of its members was fired.

'We are aware of a social media post that does not align with our core values,' Lt. Col. Joshua Benson, lead spokesman for the Marines, said in a statement.

'The Marine in question has been relieved of his recruiting duties, and the matter is currently under investigation.'

The firing follows the Pentagon’s announcement that it is monitoring such content and will enforce a policy of 'zero tolerance' for posts by servicemembers or employees that endorse or celebrate the killing of the prominent conservative activist.

CNN has obtained and reviewed roughly 20 recordings of 911 calls made in the moments after Charlie Kirk was shot during his 'American Comeback Tour' appearance on Wednesday.

The harrowing audio revealed a chaotic scene as multiple witnesses among the hundreds in attendance reported seeing him struck by a bullet.

'He just got shot in the head,' one caller told dispatchers, referring to the 'current speaker' at Utah Valley University.

Another caller reported seeing the shot come 'from above the railing, above the courtyard.'

'He got shot right in the neck,' a third caller said.
