The manhunt continues for the person responsible for the fatal shooting of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed during a live event at Utah Valley University. Authorities believe the shooter fired a single, targeted shot from a nearby rooftop.
While two suspects were briefly detained in the immediate aftermath, they were later released. Now, a chilling new video circulating online shows a figure running across a nearby rooftop just moments after the shooting.
Kirk, 31, co-founder of Turning Point America and a prominent conservative voice, was in the middle of a campus event when he was shot. Graphic video shows him slumped in his chair, bleeding heavily. According to Utah’s public safety commissioner, Beau Mason, Kirk was taken by private vehicle to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, where he later died.
Utah officials have confirmed the shooting is being treated as a “targeted political attack.” The Department of Public Safety released a statement Wednesday night, confirming the shot originated from a rooftop overlooking the student courtyard. The shooter remains at large.
