Ammunition in Charlie Kirk shooting engraved with pro-transgender, antifascist messages: WSJ
The FBI recovered a high-powered bolt-action rifle with ammunition engraved with transgender and anti-fascist messages used in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, with forensic analysis ongoing.
- Charlie Kirk, leader of Turning Points USA, was fatally shot in the throat on Wednesday during a midday event held at a university campus located in Orem, Utah.
- The shooting occurred moments after Kirk answered an audience question about the number of mass shooters identified as transgender, and the suspect remains at large.
- Authorities found an older-model.30 caliber bolt-action hunting rifle wrapped in a towel near the scene, with one spent cartridge chambered and three unspent rounds engraved with transgender and antifascist messages.
- The Wall Street Journal referenced an internal law enforcement bulletin that verified the inscriptions on the ammunition, while Utah DPS Commissioner Beau Mason reported that authorities obtained surveillance images and footage of the individual believed to be a college-aged shooter during the overnight investigation.
- Kirk's killing sparked bipartisan denunciations of political violence, an ongoing manhunt, and a presidential vow to track down those responsible and posthumously honor Kirk.
