“Jesus is the answer,” the post from Kirk read.

In the overlay, she added a message.

“Politic aside a human life was taken today," Marissa wrote. "That should only be mourned no matter who you vote for. Our country has too much division and hate. I pray this can be something we can be united in and in prayer together for peace in our country and empathy for a human life. He was a father and a husband… this is not something to celebrate.”

A fan messaged her, saying that she didn't make similar posts about school shootings or when political leaders were killed. The fan called it “super interesting” that she chose this moment to speak up.

Marissa responded strongly.

"I do want to be so so clear," she wrote.
"My heart is broken for all the lives lost due to shootings. My speaking out is not a matter of what is more of a tragedy and whose life being lost is worth more to share about. Every single one is horrid and evil. The DIFFERENCE is and what provoked me to “now speak out” is no one is celebrating the mass school schooling’s and people being murdered."

Trevor's wife added that she wants no part of the hate.

"For those who still can respond to my stories and say he deserved this please unfollow me I want no part of this hate and will continue to stand in prayer for our country and for ALL the families that lost a loved one and whose hearts are broken today," Marissa wrote.

Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University during his “Prove Me Wrong” debate event. The shot reportedly came from a rooftop about 200 yards away, fired from a bolt-action rifle.

The shooter is still on the run, but the FBI released photos of a college-age male they believe is involved.
