Utah authorities questioned and released a person of interest in the shooting of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk Wednesday afternoon, according to state and federal officials. Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, died from his injuries.
"The subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody," FBI Director Kash Patel tweeted Wednesday. "Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with @fbi."
Earlier, he wrote that the "subject" was in custody, and Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox referred to a "person of interest in custody."

Ohh missed that “ but those here blaming them”.
All good, never mind.
You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
The point is if you DONT know how to shoot, and you have a scoped and rested rifle, yes, you still need training at 200 yards. Easily 30 seconds of training. Put the hairs on the target and slowly squeeze the trigger. The assumption that a 200 yard shot requires a ninja is nonsense.
Probably already mentioned, but does anyone think it is odd that the last question Charlie was asked was his thoughts on GUN VIOLENCE? I don’t think he had a chance to answer.
A novice reads the manual and adjusts the scope in 5 minutes. He lays on the ground and hits the target at 200 yards in under 5 shots. Period. Sure, if he’s a mega tard, both those things could take longer.
Not you - others in the scroll.
Not difficult for someone with experience. Quite difficult for a random antifa punk or suburban protester, which was my point.
Nope, that didn’t happen.
We are all angry and upset at what happened and we need to fight back. But you are unhinged in your response.
With practice.
You do continue to demonstrate abysmal ignorance ...
Bull. The manual tells you that the strike of the round is moved one inch for every click of the adjusting knob for every 100 yards. Shooting at 100 yards and your round is 2 inches high? You need have ZERO ZERO ZERO knowledge of guns to make that adjustment. ZERO.
It’s fine that these people have ZERO knowledge about shooting. I mean I have ZERO knowledge about pediatric brain surgery, and that’s also fine. But why must they pretend, passionately, to have knowledge that they don’t?
“”But you are unhinged in your response.””
Oh.
I see.
I am “unhinged.”
Why don’t you have a chat with a few of the following American Citizens that were attacked by (according to your apparent standards are sane and “stable”) progs, trannies, fags, “witches,” basement commandos and other assorted mentally ill leftist assassin wanna-be, demon possessed green and pink haired servants of Morning Star?
How many of THEIR victims would have told you, they would welcome ANY help or protection?
I’m thinking 100% but here is a short list of the most prominent and household names you can start with...

Suppose you count all 23 attacks on pro-life centers. In that case, it adds up to 37 attacks — all of it ginned up by a corporate media that gives their violent followers little choice but to attack and murder those described as fascists, Nazis, rapists, threats-to-democracy, and white supremacists.

Now remember, the above is JUST the Front page newsworthy individuals.
There are thousands more that are average American Citizens who get attacked every day.
Are you going to hide when THEY need help?

Bull. No, it does not assume a zeroed rifle. You shoot a round. You see where it strikes. Then YOU zero the rifle. Look, let’s see if we can agree. If I hand a12 year old girl a rifle, and she’s never even seen one on tv, SHE WILL REQUIRE TRAINING to hit a target at 200 yards. That training will almost certainly be sufficient at WELL UNDER ONE HOUR.
It makes no logical sense.
