(NewsNation) — A Texas Tech University student was arrested after a video showing a woman mocking Charlie Kirk mourners went viral and caught the attention of elected officials.
Video footage shows a woman chanting, “F— y’all, yo homie dead,” as she bounces up and down in a dancing motion on the school’s campus in Lubbock, Texas. The individual recording and the woman can be heard exchanging words, to which the man refers to her as “evil.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott responded to the video, which had received millions of views as of Monday morning, writing on social media: “Definitely picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk. Thanks Texas Tech.”
In another post with a picture of the woman being handcuffed by police, Abbot wrote, “This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Texas Tech. FAFO [F*** Around, Find Out].”
‘No sleep, go to work’: 33 hours to find Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer
Camryn Giselle Booker, 18, was arrested Friday. NewsNation is working to confirm reports of her expulsion and has reached out to Texas Tech for comment.
“We, @TexasTech, are proud of our values and are not afraid to stand up for them. Strive for Honor Evermore! Long Live the Matadors!!,” Cody Campbell, chairman of the university’s board of regents, wrote on social media.
Kirk, a conservative activist and ally of President Donald Trump, was fatally shot at a campus event Wednesday at Utah Valley University. He has received an outpour of support nationwide, and criticism of his political stances and positive remarks about his death have been met with repercussions.
Companies such as Delta Airlines and Office Depot have adjusted their social media policies in response to Kirk’s death, and local and state agencies have fired employees over social media comments.
