Overview

  • Authorities say a single shot fired from a university rooftop about 180 meters away struck the 31-year-old Turning Point USA cofounder as he took audience questions at Utah Valley University.
  • The FBI released images and video of a person of interest seen on campus rooftops and asked the public for tips to help identify the suspect.
  • Investigators recovered what they believe is the bolt‑action, high‑power rifle used in the attack in a nearby wooded area, and the weapon is undergoing forensic testing.
  • Two people detained shortly after the shooting were questioned and released without charges as officials emphasized there was one shooter and one victim.
  • Public statements about a detention have conflicted, with posts by FBI Director Kash Patel and a new claim by President Trump that someone was arrested not corroborated by investigators leading the case.
