Federal officials probe rifle and ammo scrawled with cultural phrases after Charlie Kirk killing - CNN
<BBM>
A range of phrases related to cultural issues were found scrawled on a rifle and ammunition found in the woods near where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was murdered on Wednesday, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation.

Authorities are analyzing those messages as they seek to identify a suspect in the killing, sources said, but it’s not yet clear if they point to a motivation in the attack. Among the markings were initials that authorities are seeking to match with suspect profiles, one source said.

Live Updates: Officials Recover Rifle and Seek Gunman ‘of College Age’ in Charlie Kirk Killing - The New York Times
<BBM>
An older-model Mauser 30-06 caliber high-powered bolt action rifle, a military rifle widely popular with hunters, was recovered in a wooded area just off the college campus where Charlie Kirk was shot, according to three federal law enforcement officials based on a preliminary internal assessment. Several bullets, including a spent round in the rifle’s chamber, were recovered. The weapon and ammunition are being traced by A.T.F. analysts in West Virginia, but the evidence has not yet led to a person of interest, they said.

The FBI and Utah Department of Public Safety gave an update on the investigation into the killing of Charlie Kirk earlier today


On the shooter's identity:

Authorities said they are still working to identify the shooter. Not many details have been released about the suspect, although investigators have been referring to him as male.

Utah’s Department of Public Safety said the suspect "blended in well with the college institution" and “appears to be of college age”.

Authorities said they have images of the shooter, but they’re not releasing them yet - but they will release them if they're unsuccessful and need the public's help. BBM

Authorities also clarified the two people they interviewed yesterday immediately after the shooting were "persons of interest", not suspects.

On the shooter's movements

The suspect arrived on campus at 11:52 yesterday, officials said - just under half hour before Charlie Kirk was shot at around 12:20.

Investigators said he went "onto the campus, through the stairwells, up to the roof, across the roof to the shooting location".

After the shooting, the shooter then "moved to the other side of the building, jumped off of the building and fled off of the campus into a neighbourhood".

At some point, the shooter fled to a wooded area and the weapon believed to have been used in the shooting - a “high-powered bolt action rife” - was found there. Authorities did not say where this wooded area is.

A "footwear impression, a palm print and forearm imprints" have been found by investigators and are being analysed.

FBI has images of the suspect - special agent​


FBI special agent in charge Robert Bohls says they have images of the shooter and don't believe the community is at risk.

Answering a question from a reporter, he says they are "exhausting every resource" to find the shooter.

Bohls says they have images of the suspect but "can't comment specifically on his face" as it remains part of the investigation. "We'll release that shortly," he says.

The special agent adds: "We're not sure how far he has gone yet."
