Charlie Kirk's wife, Erika, and their two young children were present at the Utah Valley University event when he was shot. They were in the courtyard where the shooting unfolded and were quickly evacuated by security personnel. The couple's children were very young—a daughter who turned 3 in August and a son who turned 1 in May. No reports indicate that they were harmed, but they witnessed the tragic event in which Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during his speech.
