BBC Verify has been examining a video posted on social media, which people are claiming may show a "shooter" on the roof of a building at Utah Valley University (UVU) where Charlie Kirk was shot dead.
At a briefing this evening, law enforcement officials said that they were studying CCTV from the university and believe the suspect was "dressed in dark clothing" and that the shot "came from a roof".
One post on X says: "Just got sent this video from UVU.... it appears the shooter was on the roof" and shows a video which zooms in to a university building with what appears to be a dark shape on the roof.
We zoomed in on the image but the quality is too poor to make out what it is.
We used the features of the building shown to locate it to the Losee Center – a building at UVU which a university spokesperson is reported to have identified as the place where the shot came from.
We estimate that this was about 150 yards from where Kirk was sitting when he was shot.
The video was posted on X
after the shooting. We cannot Verify
when it was filmed and have asked the person who posted it for more details.
We have looked for prior versions of the footage online before today but cannot find any.
