Charlie Kirk’s family is facing the heartbreaking task of explaining to their children that their father will not be coming home after his tragic death. Jack Posobiec, a prominent figure in Kirk’s Turning Point USA organization, revealed the family’s struggle in coping with Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University.

Posobiec highlighted the strength of Kirk’s wife, Erika, who is deeply rooted in her faith. He mentioned that Erika and Charlie are devout Christians who turn to their faith for strength in times of adversity. Erika recently launched a ministry program called BIBLEin365 to engage individuals with scriptures and inspire them to live purposefully grounded in faith.

Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason expressed devastation over the loss suffered by Erika and the children. The couple, who recently celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary, have two young kids.

The tragic incident has sparked a manhunt for a person of interest wanted by the FBI. A substantial reward of up to $100,000 (£73,000) has been offered for any information leading to an arrest in connection with Kirk’s assassination.
