Overview

• Kirk, 31, was shot during a campus Q&A at Utah Valley University and died from a single neck wound likely fired from about 180 meters with a high‑powered rifle.
• The FBI released photos and video of a person seen descending from a rooftop, offered a $100,000 reward, and recovered a rifle in nearby woods believed to be tied to the attack.
• Two people detained earlier were questioned and released, and one man is under investigation for obstructing law enforcement, officials said.
• Authorities continue to process evidence and field thousands of tips, and they have not provided public details about the person Trump says is in custody.
• Trump ordered flags lowered and proposed awarding Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and politicians across parties denounced political violence, with Utah’s governor noting the death penalty could be pursued.
