Charlie Kirk shot and killed at Utah event; manhunt for shooter still ongoing

  • Conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk died Wednesday after he was shot at an event at Utah Valley University. He was speaking to a large crowd at an outdoor “Prove Me Wrong” debate, where he invites students to challenge his political and cultural views. 
  • Authorities posted images Thursday of a “person of interest” and asked the public for help in identifying the individual.

Law enforcement officials also said the weapon used has been recovered and described it as a “high-powered, bolt-action rifle.”
