On Thursday, U.S. investigators identified the weapon they believe was used to assassinate influential conservative activist Charlie Kirk. They have released images of a person of interest, described as a college-age individual, in their search for the shooter.
Kirk, a 31-year-old author and close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, was shot while delivering a lecture to a large audience at Utah Valley University. The shooter reportedly arrived shortly before the event commenced, blending in with the crowd before opening fire.
While the investigation continues, Kirk's death has provoked outrage from both sides of the political spectrum and has renewed discussions on political violence in the U.S. President Trump has vowed to bestow Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously.
