Following the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, the FBI has taken the lead in the investigation. The FBI shared video of the suspect fleeing the scene, after Kirk was shot. The suspect is shown running across a rooftop, jumping down, and entering a wooded area near the university campus. The Utah Department of Public Safety is working with the FBI, and both agencies held a press briefing seeking help from the public in identifying the suspect. According to the FBI, the shooting occurred around 12 p.m. Mountain Time on September 10, 2025. FBI Director Kash Patel has stated the agency is closely monitoring the investigation. Kirk was shot shortly after beginning to speak at the university. The incident caused immediate chaos, with initial reports of a suspect in custody later proven incorrect. Authorities are urging anyone with information related to the shooting to come forward.
