Charlie Kirk Fatally Shot Utah Campus Shooter Flees Rooftop

News summary

Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was fatally shot in the neck during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University, with chilling videos revealing a figure lying on and then fleeing from a rooftop where the gunfire originated. Witnesses reported minimal security measures at the event, including no ticket checks, metal detectors, or bag inspections, despite an attendance of over 3,000 people and only six officers present. The suspect remains at large after initial detentions of two persons of interest, both of whom were released following interrogation, with the FBI and local authorities continuing their manhunt. Utah's Governor described Kirk's killing as a "political assassination," while tributes poured in from across America, including from President Donald Trump and US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy. The incident has triggered widespread criticism of the event's security protocols and heightened concerns about safety at public political gatherings. Law enforcement officials have confirmed the shot came from a long-distance rooftop position, and investigations are ongoing with video evidence under analysis.
