Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, was shot and killed in Orem, Utah, a week before he was to appear in Tennessee.
Kirk, 31, was assaulted while participating in a Q&A session with students at Utah Valley University. The university announced that at 1:15 p.m. MT apprehended a suspect. However, Scott Trotter, a spokesperson for the university, informed the New York Times that authorities had concluded the individual taken into custody was not the shooter. Campus police chose not to provide comments when contacted by USA TODAY.
