FBI Releases Second Person of Interest in Charlie Kirk Utah Shooting; Gunman Still at Large

The FBI has released the second person of interest in the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, while the gunman remains at large. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that after interrogation, the detained individual, who was a witness and Kirk supporter attending the event, was cleared and released. Earlier, another older man detained was also released and charged with obstruction of justice, not the shooting itself. The shooting occurred during Kirk's campus appearance when a single shot was fired from the Losee Center, about 200 yards away, fatally wounding Kirk. Authorities continue to investigate the case, describing it as a targeted political assassination, with no confirmed suspect yet in custody. President Donald Trump expressed his sorrow over Kirk's death, highlighting Kirk's influence on American youth and announcing the tragedy in an Oval Office address.
