Charlie Kirk assassination ‘person of interest’ released, gunman still at large: FBI
The sniper shot Charlie Kirk from about 200 yards away during a political event; the shooter remains unidentified and at large despite multiple arrests and releases, authorities say.
- At about 12:20 p.m. Wednesday, a single shot struck Charlie Kirk in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, and he later died in hospital.
- Campus video indicates the gunman fired from the Utah Valley University Losee Center roof, roughly 200 yards from Kirk, with footage showing a figure on the rooftop.
- Federal and state officials say investigators released a subject after interrogation, with FBI Director Kash Patel confirming no current ties while Utah DPS and local partners co-lead the probe.
- State and national leaders condemned the shooting, President Donald Trump ordered flags flown at half-staff until September 14, and Utah Governor Spencer Cox called it a "political assassination."
- UVU police deployed six officers at the event and Kirk had private security, while the FBI urged the public to share footage amid rising political violence concerns.
