known what going on About Manhunt 'Ongoing' After Charlie Kirk Shot Dead at Utah College: 'Believed to Be a Targeted Attack'
Two suspects were arrested but later released, according to the police. "There is an ongoing investigation and manhunt for the shooter," they said.
A search is still going on for Charlie Kirk, a right-wing political analyst who was shot and killed at Utah Valley University on September 10 at an event for students. Kirk was 31 years old.
At about 12:20 p.m. local time, Kirk was speaking at an event put on by students with his non-profit group Turning Point USA. Shots were then fired. He was taken to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, but the Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS) said he was dead after hours of care.
"The police are still looking into this shooting." The Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are both in charge of this case, along with the Utah County Attorney's office, the Utah County Sheriff's office, and the local police forces.
The news statement said that one person had been arrested as a suspect but was later freed and charged with disturbance by UVU (Utah Valley University) police. DPS said that a second suspect was also arrested and after being questioned by police was released. "Right now, neither of these people has anything to do with the shooting." "The shooter is still being looked for and is the subject of an investigation," the report said.
Kirk was shot while setting up his famous "Prove Me Wrong" table at the Orem, Utah, college as part of his American Comeback Tour.
The DPS stated that the State Crime Lab and police were working on several open crime scenes after the incident.
"These were identified based on where the victim was shot, as well as the locations where the suspect and victim travelled," it said.
"The shooting is thought to have been a targeted attack," DPS said. It is thought that the shooter shot from the roof of a building down to the student area, where the public event was taking place. To protect the credibility of our study, we can't give any more information.
The news release said, "This is a sad time for Utah and our country." People previously reported that the person of interest that police think killed Kirk was heard on a police radio recording wearing all black and combat gear.
The tape, which PEOPLE listened to, talked about a person who was all black: they had a black long gun, a black tactical helmet and mask, and maybe even a tactical vest and pants.
In other messages, they talked about glasses that look like aviators, a black bag, long black pants, and hair that was longer.
As of twenty minutes after Kirk's event started, the deadly bullet was fired from the school's Losee Center, which is about 200 yards from where Kirk was speaking. On Wednesday, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox called what happened a "political assassination" at a press meeting. Since then, the school has stated that during this time, all lessons (in-person and online), campus events, and administrative work will not happen. This is according to an update on the school's emergency information page.
"On behalf of Utah Valley University, we are shocked and saddened by the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk, a guest to our campus," a note said. "Our thoughts are with his family. UVU campuses will be closed from September 11–14 so that we can grieve with our students, teachers, and staff who saw this terrible disaster.
"This horrible attack makes me feel sick and scared." "Leaders at the University of Utah are keeping a close eye on things," UVU said in a separate Facebook post.
