Grieving widow Erika Kirk shared the emotional last moments of her husband, Charlie Kirk, after the tragic shooting.
“His eyes were half-open, and he had this Mona Lisa-like smile,” she told the New York Times. “It felt like Jesus rescued him. The bullet came, he blinked, and he was in heaven.”
Thousands of mourners are expected at Charlie Kirk’s funeral at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Lines have already stretched outside for hours, showing the huge impact of the conservative leader’s death.

Former President Donald Trump will lead the service, joined by Vice President J.D. Vance and top Cabinet members. Security is said to be “extraordinarily tight.” Erika will deliver a moving eulogy and has been named the new head of Turning Point USA, continuing her husband’s mission.
