Shooting believed to be 'targeted attack'​

Mason says one shot was fired and that there was only one victim: Charlie Kirk.

He says the suspect in the shooting is still at large.

A few moments ago, FBI Director Kash Patel posted on social media that a "subject" in the shooting had been taken into custody.

FBI pledges to dedicate 'full resources'
​

The FBI agent co-leading the investigation out of the Salt Lake City office is now speaking.

"On behalf of the FBI, we extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Charlie Kirk," he says.

He pledges that the FBI will dedicate "full resources" including "tactical operational investigative and intelligence".

He adds that investigators are "setting up digital media tip line" to collect information from the public.

Why are the presser and what's being shared by the FBI contradictory

Incompetence.

Amazing words from the governor calling for all Americans to self reflect considering the number of political assassinations we have experienced recently.

Utah campus is a place for open and respectful debate - university spokesman
​

A spokesman from Utah Valley University, where Kirk was speaking when he was shot, says they are shocked and saddened "by the tragic passing" of Kirk.

The spokesman says Kirk had been invited to speak on campus.

He says the campus is a place to debate openly and respectfully. "Any attempt to infringe on those rights has no place here."

Shooting was a 'political assassination' - Utah governor​

Utah Governor Spencer Cox, says he has been in touch with President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel.

"This is a dark day for our state, it's a tragic day for out nation," he says, calling the shooting "a political assassination".

Person of interest in custody - governor​

Cox says Kirk was first and foremost a dad to two young children.

He says he was also politically involved, and that's why he was on campus.

Cox says historically university campuses have been a place where ideas are formulated and debated, and that's what Kirk dopes - he goes to university campuses and publicly debates people who disagree with him politically.

The governor then says a person of interest is in custody.

Utah Governor says at this point there is no information that a second person is involved in shooting of Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk shooter was captured on security camera dressed in all dark clothing. A longer distance shot from a roof.

Well this is awkward. The Utah Department of Public Safety is giving a press conference, but clearly isn't aware that the suspect is in custody.

And now the FBI agent giving the presser isn't aware he's ben captured either.

Weird. Maybe Kash should have called the tip line to let them know.

Governor calls for an end to political hatred​

Utah's governor condemns anyone who "celebrated, even a little bit" Kirk's death.

About Kirk, he says: "I don't care what his politics are. I care that he was an American."

Cox notes that America is celebrating its 250 anniversary of its founding next year, and that citizens need to ask themselves: "Is this it? Is this what 250 years has wrought upon us?"

"I pray that is not the case," he continues, calling on Americans to stop "hating" each other, recalling other recent incidents of political violence in the US.

Do you have a link to his view? He was murdered in front of his loved ones and thousands of others…..there’s no solace.

Charlie Kirk says gun deaths "unfortunately" worth it to ...

The conservative founder of Turning Point USA made the comments following a mass shooting in Nashville last week that resulted in six deaths.

OT: Why are they even doing this press thing now? Wait an hour and get all the facts. Now it's just confusing.

Absolutely heart-breaking.

I loved Kirk, and am so sad to see him go, so young, at the hands of an assassin.

Agreed.

Fast moving and high profile. It's inevitable. JMO

There were uniformed and plain clothed police officers in the crowd working in coordination with Kirk’s security.
