Chicago elementary school teacher mocks Charlie Kirk’s assassination during 'No Kings' protest

A Chicago Public School teacher has been accused of appearing to mock the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The video, which circulated widely on social media, shows a woman making the gesture of firing a gun at her own neck, seemingly referencing Kirk’s death. Others cheered in the background.

Nathan Hale Elementary in the Chicagoland area which serves mostly Hispanic students, has removed the profile of the teacher, who is named Lucy Martinez. The school also shut down its website, saying that it is "under construction."  The Post Millennial reached out to Martinez, as well as Chicago Public Schools but did not a receive a response at the time of publication.
 

UPDATE: The school just deleted their account. The teacher is still on their site

Still no comment from the district @ChiPubSchools https://t.co/9FYxV0wMpl pic.twitter.com/rctOq6jQ53
