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."

Have the CAI denied involvement?
They better catch this murderous SOB or he will use this set up to kill another person because it worked.
I was wondering the same.

My son sent me this:
White cap gives the get ready timing…. Black shirt acknowledges and swipes arm… boom. Am I seeing things or did they baseball play a sniper

Interesting
Exactly. All these people talking talking about professional operator hit men cia/mossad wet work specialist Jason Bourne super killers are way off base.
Why would Mossad want to take out Kirk? He was a fairly devout Zionist, closing every Friday podcast with “Shabbat sholom.”
That’s actually a pretty common configuration today. Sound suppression on an air rifle is unregulated (legal).
The suppressors for air rifles are not designed for the pressures of regular firearms.
If not AI’d, it seems a bit more than just coincidental.
There were posts today saying that one of the videos going around was fake.
The shooter almost certainly wasn't aiming for the neck, they probably missed the center of the torso where they would likely have been aiming. Under ideal conditions with a good rifle and an experienced shooter 200 yds would be an easy shot, but anyone about to commit a political murder probably has a lot of adrenaline pumping. If it's someone who just bought the rifle a week ago and isn't a practiced shot 200 yds might as well be the moon, most novices couldn't do it. There's not enough information to know right now whether this was someone who knew what they were doing or a nutcase who just pulled off a lucky shot.

Charlie Kirk was close to Trump killing Kirk was like warning Trump ‘you’re next’.
Let me guess, the perps will find some mentally deranged dude, shoot him in the mouth, throw him in the woods and put the murder weapon on him...LEOs and politicians will pat each other on the back saying how great they were...the end
(as far as gov./MSM are concerned...case closed)
...back to UFO's and dancing with the stars
You mean a person with a high-powered scoped hunting rifle who's a decent hunter couldn't hit a deer in the neck at 200 yds?
He has to be a pro? Really?
The murder of Charlie Kirk was bad enough. Watching the Keystone Cops in actions just adds a pile of salt to the wounds. Sigh ...
I’m not so sure he was aiming for the neck. It wouldn’t make sense. People shooting down from a hight commonly shoot high. I bet he was aiming center mass and the shot landed high hitting Charlie in the neck.
Yep. They have learned from past assassinations.
I really have no idea who the guy was, but the news lately has been dominated by Israel doing “in my opinion” stupid stuff
Suddenly that is not the case anymore
Why do you think where it his is where it was aimed?
If aiming for center of head, some drop and pull to the right is not surprising.
