Law enforcement officials say the sniper who assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk has not been identified and is believed to have jumped off the roof and fled into a neighborhood after firing one shot.
The FBI said Thursday officials have recovered a high-powered rifle from the scene. Kirk was killed with a gunshot from a distant rooftop at the Utah Valley University campus.
Police say the shooter appears to be of “college age” and is believed to have blended in on the university campus where Kirk was shot in the latest act of political violence to befall America. Kirk was an ally of President Donald Trump, who praises the Turning Point USA co-founder as “Great, and even Legendary.”
