Just hours before Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during a speaking event at Utah Valley University, his wife, Erika Lane Frantzve, shared a Bible verse that now carries heartbreaking significance.
At 12:45 p.m., Erika posted Psalm 46:1 on X (formerly Twitter): “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” The verse, likely meant to offer encouragement, became a tragic prelude to the devastating events that followed.
Erika, who attended the event with the couple’s two young children, was present when the shooting occurred. Her post has since gone viral, as many view it as an eerie and poignant moment of faith just before the tragedy. The family’s presence at the university adds an especially painful dimension to the already shocking event.
