Overview

• Authorities say a single round was fired from a rooftop roughly 200 feet from the Utah Valley University stage, and investigators recovered a bolt-action rifle along an apparent escape route.
• The FBI released photos of a person of interest as the suspected perpetrator remains at large, and officials asked the public for tips.
• Two individuals detained shortly after the shooting were later released, with Utah authorities saying they have no current ties to the attack.
• Megyn Kelly and Glenn Beck learned of Kirk’s death live on The Megyn Kelly Show, and conservative streams drew some of their largest audiences, including 3.9 million views for Kelly’s broadcast, according to Forbes.
• President Donald Trump publicly confirmed Kirk’s death and said he would award him a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom, as leaders across parties condemned the violence and Utah’s governor called it a “political assassination.”
