Hundreds gathered for a candlelight vigil for Charlie Kirk at the Idaho Capitol in Boise.

The vigil followed the horrific shooting of the Turning Point USA founder at an event in Utah.

The vigil descended into chaos after a fight broke out in the crowd.

“A man crashed the vigil on a scooter, yelling ‘F*** Charlie Kirk’ as he sped through mourners. That stunt didn’t end well – fists flew as attendees confronted him. Cops moved in and broke it up before things got too out of hand,” Mario Nawfal wrote.

“Thank you @BoisePD for keeping the heckler’s at bay tonight. Perhaps 1000 mourners joined in a prayer vigil at Idaho’s capital this evening for Charlie Kirk. If you think Charlie’s assassin was a one-off crazy, note that more than a dozen ‘protestors’ showed up 20 minutes after we started. They celebrated his death, shouting foul language. The left and their Democrat enablers are a scourge on this nation,” another X user said.
