Erika Kirk, chief executive of Turning Point USA and widow of the group's late founder Charlie Kirk, has spoken publicly for the first time about the Washington Hilton shooting, calling it a traumatic example of the 'evil in our country'. Her statement came after footage showed her tearful and shaking as Secret Service agents evacuated guests from the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The incident unfolded in Washington DC on Saturday when an alleged gunman, identified by authorities as 31 year old Cole Tomas Allen, opened fire inside the hotel. President Donald Trump, senior officials and guests including Kirk were rushed out under armed guard as security teams moved to contain the chaos.
