As conservatives are still grappling with sorrow and scrambling for answers in the wake of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination, FBI director Kash Patel has confirmed at least one such answer.
Patel announced on X that the FBI had helped local authorities apprehend a suspect they believe to be the mystery gunman who had shot and killed Kirk.
“The subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody,” Patel posted Wednesday evening. “Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with @fbi.”

Governor Cox....could get squishy on death penalty...big on police “reform” and rehab....
Again, as I was saying, the perpetrators of Charlie Kirk’s murder are being brought to justice.
They will pay dearly.
Additionally, I believe I see a suppressor on the muzzle.
The police officer is using it to carry the rifle by the muzzle.
Yep. Mustachioed white male,long brown hair, wearing a “Big East Football” cap. What appears to my eye to be a non military, scoped hunting rifle.
Yep..
The gun the cops are holding is Ruger break action .22 pellet gun. You can see Ruger logo in the bottom corner of the stock.

I’d be surprised if that was the gun in the shooting.
Roger that.
These little weasels and cowards can’t do anything with their stupid communist ideas, so they send in cowardly murderers to shoot heroes like Charlie Kirk from far away.
So the FBI has the guy but not a name?
Could be, yep. Everything is still fluid.
They will pay dearly.
And yet BEFORE any evidence has been presented you immediately assumed he/they were part of a "cabal." And with your sick history fully on record here at FR we KNOW exactly who you mean. Crawl back down your hole.
Yeah, it looks a LOT like a suppressor... on a pellet gun.
The video on X at 1:24 shows the barrel 20 to 30 degrees depressed from the centerline of the gun, exactly like a break barrel air rifle.
At 1:25 and 1:26 it is clear that it’s a pellet gun, you can see the hinge where the barrel meets the front hand grip.
Don’t know where the cops are on this but I would pay good money to see a 200 yard shot with the thing.
.
We don’t know if this is the guy yet.
Charlie Kirk has what the communists never had and never will—well considered principles based on reason.
The morons who had him murdered have nothing. But something is coming for them. It’s called justice.
“Now it can sit and gather dust on Bondi’s desk for awhile”
Why would the Feds be involved in a Utah murder? Maybe, but I didn’t understand how.
The rifle the police were carrying: 
Looks like they just released the suspect so that would imply the killer remains at large!
Funny how when you get called out on it, you immediately ditch the “cabal” shtick. I guess some weasels can’t tolerate the light when it is shined upon them.
For Charlie’s family, the world has stopped for them today as it still moves on for others. A tragedy.
