Chilling rooftop footage has emerged of the suspected gunman believed to have carried out the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The video shows the individual positioned on a campus rooftop both before and after the incident.
Kirk, a prominent political figure and strong ally of Donald Trump, was speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday afternoon when he was shot in the neck in a horrifying public attack. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but former President Trump later confirmed the devastating news of Kirk’s death.
Graphic video of the shooting has circulated widely on X (formerly Twitter), prompting warnings due to its disturbing content. Viewers are urged to use discretion before viewing. Utah Governor Spencer Cox described the event as a “political assassination,” though the identity of the suspect has not yet been made public. The shooter is currently in custody.
Additional clips posted online show a figure moving across the rooftop moments after the crowd reacts to the gunfire. Investigators are analyzing the footage as part of the ongoing investigation.
