The FBI has recovered what they believe is the weapon used to kill conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The investigation continues as authorities search for the shooter who remains at large after carrying out what Utah Governor Spencer Cox called a political assassination.
Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot while speaking at his “American Comeback Tour” event on the Orem campus. The shooting happened around 12:20 p.m. as Kirk was answering questions from students in his signature “Prove Me Wrong” format. Video footage shows Kirk reaching for his neck before collapsing as panicked attendees fled the scene.
