OREM, Utah — In the wake of Wednesday's deadly shooting on campus, Utah Valley University says it will be closed for the rest of the week.
Charlie Kirk, a conservative political commentator and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot approximately 20 minutes into his speaking event on campus. He was later pronounced dead.
UVU immediately canceled classes, closed down the campus, and told those already there to shelter in place. One person was initially taken into custody, then released. Later Wednesday afternoon, officials announced that they had arrested another suspect — however, around 6 p.m., FBI Director Kash Patel announced that this suspect was released after being interrogated.
The school announced on its website that the campus will remain closed until Monday (Sept. 15).
