Kirk, a Trump ally and founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot at the UVU campus in Orem. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition. It was President Donald Trump who first announced the 31-year-old's death. The Wall Street Journal and New York Times cited law enforcement sources to report that the suspect used an older model Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle.

The FBI, meanwhile, released a pair of photos of the person believed responsible for Charlie Kirk's assassination. Investigators obtained clues, including a palm print, a shoe impression and a high-powered hunting rifle found in a wooded area along the path the shooter fled. No name has been released yet.
