The story of Kendrick Castillo, the Colorado teenager who died confronting a gunman at his high school, has taken on new significance as the Catholic Church formally considers his sainthood cause.
An estimated 200,000 people gathered Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona to honor Charlie Kirk, the Conservative activist whose life was cut short earlier this month. The stadium, which holds about 73,000, filled rapidly after doors opened at 8 a.m., with many arriving hours early from across the country. Overflow crowds streamed into adjacent venues and public viewing areas as attendees were turned away once capacity was reached.
Bullet casings recovered from the scene of Charlie Kirk’s assassination were found to have messages etched into them, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox revealed. These inscriptions are being seen as possible clues to the shooter’s motive, and some may reflect online meme culture.
Erika Kirk, the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, delivered her first public remarks since Charlie was fatally shot at Utah Valley University. Speaking from his studio next to his empty chair, Erica proclaimed that her husband’s message—rooted in patriotism, faith, and conservative values—won’t just endure, it will intensify.
