Video: Kirk's Assassin Jumping Off Roof
Video: Kirk's Assassin Jumping Off Roof
A new video released by the FBI shows the still-at-large person of interest in Charlie Kirk’s assassination leaping off his rooftop sniper’s den and dashing away minutes after shooting the conservative activist dead Wednesday.
The clip from the Utah Valley University campus was shared by the Bureau and the Utah Department of Public Safety during a press conference Thursday night in which officials gave no new updates on any relevant leads or arrests.
The video shows the alleged assassin, wearing all black, running across the roof of a campus building, slowing near the edge and then scaling down to ground level before nonchalantly walking through a parking lot and towards a wooded area — where he dropped the gun.
Photos of the “person of interest” released by the FBI earlier Thursday showed a “college-aged” man dressed in all black, including a cap with a triangle on it and a shirt with the American flag and an eagle.
During his quick escape, the man left behind a palm impression and other smudges on the roof that authorities said could be used to collect DNA and narrow down the search.
Officials noted that they are still heavily relying on the public’s assistance in identifying the assassin and pointed to their tip line and $100,000 reward as motivation.
So far, the FBI has received a staggering 7,000 tips in connection with the assassination – the most since the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013.
Kirk was fatally shot in the neck on Wednesday afternoon while holding one of his famed “Prove Me Wrong” debates at the university – his first stop on his “American Comeback” tour.
Footage captured by attendees showed Kirk going limp as blood spewed out of his neck before falling off his chair..
Frantic fans – and protesters – fled in a mad panic as his security team rushed him to a hospital off campus, where he died.
As a close ally of many high-ranking politicians, including President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, Kirk and his family have received an outpouring of love and support – including a posthumous honor with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
