Carey Price's wife Angela shares just how deeply she's been impacted by Charlie Kirk's assassination - "I'm not sleeping at night"

U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated during a public appearance at Utah Valley University earlier this week in what investigators believe was a targeted attack. The incident was captured on video, clips of which quickly spread across social media before many were taken down.

On Friday, Montreal Canadiens legend Carey Price’s wife, Angela, took to Instagram to share just how deeply the tragedy has affected her personally. In a series of stories, Angela admitted that the news and the graphic video footage circulating online have left her shaken.

“Happy Friday. I feel like the last two days have been so heavy. And I’ve just been, like, shook to my core,” she said.

“The Charlie Kirk death was just so crazy. And I think, I mean, it’s crazy, yes, but I accidentally, unintentionally came across the video of the murder or assassination on TikTok. And I just haven’t been able to get that out of my brain.”

Angela revealed that the disturbing images have taken a toll on her well-being.

“I’m not sleeping at night. It just, it shook me. So that’s why I haven’t been on here. Damn, it just feels heavy,” she said.

She explained that she plans to return to social media soon, including updates to her popular “laundry talk” segments that recently gained traction, but stressed how difficult the past days have been.

Carey Price’s wife Angela’s initial reaction to Charlie Kirk’s assasination

Earlier this week, before opening up about her sleepless nights, Angela Price had already taken to Instagram to share her shock at the tragedy. She admitted she was completely shocked when she first came across the news of Charlie Kirk’s death.

“I opened social media and gasped, completely stunned,” Angela wrote. “My heart aches for our country, where a difference of opinion can lead to such devastating consequences. I can’t stop thinking about his wife and children.”

Her initial message was part of a wave of responses from the NHL community. Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko’s wife, Lexie, said she was “heartbroken for this family, his wife & daughters” and lamented how “f**ked up” things had become. Islanders forward Matt Martin’s wife, Sydney, condemned the loss of “simple humanity,” while Washington Capitals’ T.J. Oshie and defenseman Jakob Chychrun both offered prayers and condolences.

Brittany Lucic, wife of former Bruin Milan Lucic, also shared her thoughts, stressing that while free speech is fundamental, violence can never be justified.
