Charlie Kirk’s wife and two young children were at the Utah campus event where he was shot and killed.

Former Rep. Bob McEwen, a close family friend and member of Turning Point USA’s advisory council, shared the news on CNN.

McEwen reflected on Charlie and Erika’s love story, recalling how they first met when she applied for a job with him. “They met for over two and a half hours. At the end of it, he said, ‘I’m not going to hire you, but I’d like to date you,’” McEwen said.

He also shared that just days ago, Kirk had been told he would likely need security for the rest of his life, a sacrifice Erika understood but had hoped to avoid.

Crime With Bobby

The White House is stepping up security for President Donald Trump following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, CNN reports.

This morning’s 9/11 memorial ceremony was moved from its usual location outside the Pentagon to an internal courtyard due to security concerns, a source said.

Additional precautions will also be in place tonight when Trump attends the Yankees–Tigers game in the Bronx, including extra screening at all entrances and heightened security around the box where he’ll watch the game.

Trump had originally planned to stay at Trump Tower this weekend but will now travel to his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club, which officials consider one of the most secure sites available.

WH Chief of Staff Susie Wiles: "I called everybody in before they went home last night and said, 'Go home, hug your children, hug your spouse, be careful, take precautions — and don't let your voice get softer. Charlie would want everybody to speak as they had been and more.'"

Our FBI Denver team continues to work with our partners regarding the investigation of the shooting at Evergreen High School yesterday afternoon in Colorado.

We have deployed our evidence response team and other specialty resources as part of our response to this incident. The suspect is deceased from his self-inflicted injuries and has been identified as a student at the school, 16-year-old Desmond Holly.

Most importantly, our thoughts continue to be with the two victims injured in the shooting and all those who have been impacted by this horrific attack. We will share more as we are able.

BREAKING: Per multiple federal sources to FoxNews, the suspect arrested in the grisly machete beheading of a motel manager in Dallas, TX yesterday is a Cuban illegal alien who was released into the US by the Biden admin in January despite having an active deportation order.

I'm told YORDANIS COBOS-MARTINEZ was released from ICE custody by the Biden admin on 1/13/2025, one week before Trump took office, due to "no significant likelihood of removal in the forseeable future". The Biden admin didn't believe they could enforce his deportation order and remove him because Cuba doesn't cooperate, and they did not conduct third party country deportations the way the Trump administration does. (sending aliens to countries they aren't nationals of).

Cobos-Martinez has a prior criminal history of:

False imprisonment in CA (unknown disposition)
Indecency with a child in Texas (dismissed)
Grand theft of vehicle in Florida (dismissed)
Carjacking & false imprisonment in CA (acquitted on carjacking, convicted of false imprisonment).

Disturbing surveillance video shows Cobos-Martinez allegedly kicking and picking up the victim's severed head in the motel parking lot as it drips blood, before he places it into a dumpster. It reportedly all started with an argument with the motel manager, and the beheading took place in front of the victim's wife and son.

Texas: Harris County Sheriff's deputies responded to a shooting inside a retail store (Walmart) located at 9235 N Sam Houston Pkwy E @ Wilson.

Preliminary: not an active shooter incident. It appears to be a result of individuals arguing inside the store. One person sustained a gunshot wound to the arm, another person is detained. No further threat.

MacArthur Park has been a location for the city’s unhoused population for many years, and the problem is currently at its worst in decades.

President Donald J. Trump: "We have a great country. We have a Radical Left group of lunatics out there — just absolute lunatics — and we're going to get that problem solved. I'm only concerned for the country."

NEW: Suspects smash front of Bay Area jewelry store before being scared off by owner.

Surveillance video captures a group of masked suspects smashing into the front of Fine Jewelry in Milpitas, but within seconds, the suspects flee after the owner fires a shot.

Omega block across the US brings summer-like temps to the Central US once again. Cooler and unsettled farther west with mountain snow potential

So, Absolutely a true story. In 1981 the Philadelphia Police Department wanted a smaller, more fuel efficient vehicle. So, they bought a few Plymouth Horizons.

Although, not confirmed, a high ranking Officer in the department is rumored to have said “We asked for smaller, not the smallest”.

These vehicles had a very short service life with PPD. I have family that is retired from PPD and was serving during this period. This is an actual photo.

⚠️A special weather statement has been issued for Madera County, CA until 3:45 PM PDT

24 years ago, our nation watched in horror as more than 3,000 innocent Americans were killed in a terrorist attack. Yesterday, we were reminded once again how fragile life is.

In the face of tragedy, I still have to believe our nation’s best days are ahead of us. I hope you do, too.

Nebraska: A Kearney police officer has been released from the hospital Thursday after getting involved in a crash involving a fellow member of law enforcement.

Kearney police said in a news release that officers responded to a serious medical emergency in northeast Kearney around 7 a.m. Thursday, when a KPD patrol vehicle and a Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office vehicle collided.

The crash happened on North Railroad Street near K Avenue.

Both vehicles were heading East when they collided, and the impact caused the KPD vehicle to hit a curb and roll several times before landing on its driver side, which trapped the officer inside.

Rescue crews worked to extricate the KPD officer who was then taken to CHI Health Good Sam with non-life-threatening injuries.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for his recovery🙏🏻
