00:00Erica Kirk discusses the tragic death of her husband in major interview.

00:04Erica Kirk breaks her silence in a Fox News special sharing grief final moments

00:09and how she is carrying his legacy. Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA,

00:14was fatally shot in Utah earlier this year during a campus event.

00:18Investigators say a single round from a bolt-action rifle struck him shortly after noon local time.

00:23I never saw the video. I never will see it. I don't want my husband's public assassination

00:28to be something I ever see. The night before the shooting, Erica and the couple's young daughter

00:33slept in the master bedroom while Charlie chose their daughter's room. The next morning he came

00:38in and he grabbed his wedding ring and necklace and then he left, she recalled. I didn't even get to

00:43give him a kiss goodbye. While Charlie was in Utah, Erica remained in Arizona to assist her mother

00:49during a medical procedure. He encouraged her to stay, reminding her that home needs you and

00:54suggesting she attend his next event that week. In the waiting room, she saw a video of Charlie

00:58tossing hats into the crowd at Utah Valley University. Moments later, family friend Mikey

01:03McCoy called to say Charlie had been shot. I sprinted out of her treatment center and just collapsed in

01:09the middle of the parking lot, she said. Charlie was pronounced dead at the scene. Erica said the

01:15bullet killed her husband instantly, recalling she had urged him to wear a vest amid rising campus

01:19tensions. But he replied, if they're going to get me, they're going to get me. After the shooting,

01:25she insisted on seeing him, saying he looked so alive, still warm, with his eyes slightly open

01:30and a faint smirk. Following his assassination, morning spread nationwide as President Donald Trump

01:36condemned the killing as a cowardly act and praised Charlie Kirk's conservative work. His wife,

01:42Erica, said the decision on the death penalty rests with the government and God, believing true justice

01:48belongs to the Lord. She will be honored Thursday at the Fox Nation Patriot Awards in New York

01:54with the first ever Charlie Kirk Legacy Award.
