FBI releases photos of person of interest in Charlie Kirk shooting

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The FBI has released photographs of a person of interest in the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk on a Utah college campus.

Kirk was fatally shot in the neck on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem during a public speaking engagement on Wednesday. The two pictures show a person in a black shirt and jeans wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses.

Kirk's shooter remained at large on Thursday. But FBI officials said they believe they recovered the gun used in the killing -- a bolt-action rifle.

Officials have also collected a footwear impression, a palm print and forearm imprints.

The event on Wednesday was a stop on Kirk's speaking tour for Turning Point USA -- a political organization targeting the college-age population that Kirk founded.

The FBI released additional photos of the man they say is a person of interest on Thursday night.
