Just hours before tragedy struck in Utah, Erika Kirk — wife of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk — posted a message of faith that now feels haunting.
She shared from the Book of Psalms: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” At the time, it seemed like encouragement for her followers, but after her husband was shot during a campus event, the verse took on heartbreaking weight.
Supporters across the country see it as a chilling sign — words of strength spoken before unthinkable pain.
Behind the headlines is a family in shock. A wife and children now cling to faith as their lives are suddenly shaken.
No matter where people stand on Charlie Kirk’s politics, the loss is deeply human — a wife’s prayer, a verse of hope, followed by tragedy.
