Law enforcement in Utah are continuing their search for a suspect in the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed at Utah Valley University. The Utah Department of Public Safety confirmed that the investigation remains active, with the FBI and local police involved. Two individuals were initially taken into custody but later released.
Governor Spencer Cox described the killing as a 'political assassination', although the motive and identity of the shooter remain unclear. Kirk was shot while addressing a crowd of approximately 3,000 people in Orem, near Salt Lake City. Local officials believe the attack was targeted, with the shooter firing from a rooftop.
The incident has drawn bipartisan condemnation, with calls for a thorough investigation. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether a potential accomplice is being sought, but the search for the suspect continues.
