A hard-Left councillor who wrote a social media post saying Charlie Kirk had 'brought this on himself' after his assassination did not commit a crime, police confirmed today.
The 31-year-old US conservative activist was shot in the neck by a gunman while speaking about mass shootings at a university campus in Utah on Wednesday.
Fiona Wild, who has been sat as an independent on Burnley Council since resigning from the Labour Party last month, reacted to the murder with a post on Facebook.
The councillor, who represented Lanehead ward, wrote: 'I don't condone violence, but I do think he made himself a target and brought this on himself so good riddance to not a very nice man! America needs to get rid of the other t*t now.'
A Daily Mail reporter attempted to speak to Ms Wild last night at her home in the Lancashire town, but could not because police officers were inside at the time.
