A TEXAS Tech University student has been arrested for harassing mourners at a vigil for conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Camryn Giselle Booker, 18, looks sullen in her mugshot — a stark contrast from moments before her arrest, when she was seen dancing and mocking Kirk’s assassination.

Disturbing video shows Booker jumping up and down as she screams, “F**k y’all homie dead, he got shot in the head” on Friday.
At one point, she walked up to someone and said, “Why are you so hateful?” after he told her to stop being “mean.”
When another mourner told her to calm down, Booker said, “I’m not emotional ma’am, don’t tell me what I am and what I’m not.
“You can get out of face cause I can tell you what you are but you won’t like it,” she said.
Another man wearing a Make America Great Again had told her that she was “being aggressive,” before Boooker said, “I’m not being aggressive my voice is very calm.”
“You’re calling me aggressive because I’m a Black woman,” she said.
On Sunday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott reshared pictures of Booker being cuffed and said, “This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Texas Tech.”
He wrote “FAFO,” which stands for “f**k around, find out.”
The governor also replied to a video of her antics and said she had “picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk.”
“Thanks Texas Tech,” he said on X.
Booker was arrested and charged with assault, and she has since bonded out of jail on $200, according to Fox affiliate KDFW.
One video appeared to show her flicking the baseball cap of a man who confronted her, and it’s believed this could have led to her arrest, the outlet reported.
On Monday, Texas Tech confirmed that she was no longer enrolled at the school.
“Any behavior that denigrates victims of violence is reprehensible, has no place on our campus, and is not aligned with our values,” said the statement given to Fox affiliate KDFW.
The school said it cannot comment on individual student conduct but takes “all reported violations seriously.”

‘ASSASSIN’ NABBED
Tyler Robinson, 22, has been arrested and accused of firing a single bullet at Kirk, 31, as he spoke with students at Utah Valley University in Orem for an outdoor campus event.
The suspect was nabbed 33-hours after the shooting in his hometown of St. George, Utah, which is about 250 miles from the crime scene.
The hunting rifled believed to have been used to killed Kirk was found with unfired cartridges that had disturbing anti-fascist messages scrawled on the sides, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said.
One of the messages said, “”Oh, Bella Ciao,” why is a lyric to a popular Italian anti-fascist song sung during World War II.
Another casing read, “Hey fascist! Catch!”
Kirk’s death has sparked a sea of controversy across the US, with teachers and journalists being fired for sharing insensitive comments about his killing.
Meanwhile, the Emmy Awards were blasted after celebrities refused to mention the assassination.
And JD Vance has given an emotional tribute to the famous organizer by hosting the Charlie Kirk Show.
