In a livestream, standing beside Charlie Kirk’s empty chair that he used during his podcast tapings, his widow Erica Kirk made her first public comments on Saturday, the first since he was fatally shot at a Utah university campus on Wednesday. “I will never let his legacy die,” she says tearfully. She adds, “The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.”

Tyler Robinson, 22, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, had expressed opposition to the conservative activist’s views and indicated that he was responsible for the shooting, authorities said on Friday.  They announced the arrest in the killing that raised fresh alarms about political violence in a deeply polarised country.


US President Donald Trump said on Friday he would award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honour. “Charlie Kirk was a great person, a great man — great in every way, especially with youth,” he said.
