The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) has released surveillance footage and photographs of the suspect accused of fatally shooting conservative commentator and activist Charlie Kirk during a campus event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
According to footage, the assailant climbed onto the rooftop of a nearby building around 12 pm (local time) and fired a single shot that struck Kirk while he was addressing a packed audience. The 31-year-old activist was rushed to a local hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly after.
The footage shows the suspect leaping from the rooftop moments after the shooting before fleeing the scene. Authorities later recovered a rifle and ammunition abandoned in a wooded area close to the university.
