Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was confirmed dead after being shot during a speech at Utah Valley University. The attack has prompted widespread reactions across the political spectrum.
Former President Donald Trump released a video calling the incident “horrible” and described Kirk as a “legend” in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Amid the wave of public statements, a detail from Kirk’s family has drawn attention online. Just hours before the shooting, Kirk’s wife shared a verse from Psalm 46:1 on her social media account: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Following confirmation of Kirk’s death, the post has been widely shared and interpreted by many as a poignant coincidence connected to the tragedy.
