Charlie Kirk: FBI finds weapon, but no suspects

The FBI still has no suspects on the heels of the murder of conservative political influencer Charlie Kirk, who was killed in Utah last Wednesday (September 10), while speaking at Utah Valley University.

The assassin is said to have stood about 600 feet from the victim, on a rooftop, armed with a long-range weapon, before firing a single shot, hitting Charlie Kirk in the neck, confirmed the New York Times.

Charlie Kirk’s death was confirmed quickly thereafter, initially by President Donald Trump himself.

Two suspects were detained and questioned, the first arrested at the scene, but neither proved to be the perpetrator of the crime, confirms the FBI.

In fact, authorities have no suspects in custody at the time of writing, while the FBI was holding a press conference on the morning of September 11.

They did, however, recover the murder weapon.

Few images initially appeared to be available of the killer’s location at the time of the murder, so the FBI asked civilians present at the event to submit their photos and videos of the event. Following this request, the FBI confirmed on September 11 that it had secured images of the killer.

The murder of Charlie Kirk has shocked America, and people of all political affiliations.

The Governor of Utah seemed particularly shaken by the assassination, which he did not hesitate to describe as political.

More details to come in this case, as the manhunt for the killer of Charlie Kirk, murdered at the age of 31, continues.
