Newly released photos show the chilling rooftop perch where investigators say a sniper positioned himself before firing the fatal shot that killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
Rooftop Evidence
Images reviewed by investigators depict a gravel-covered roof, believed to be the Losee Center, with five orange evidence flags marking indentations that may have been left by the gunman’s body and hands.
From that vantage point, the shooter had a clear line of sight to the white tent where Kirk addressed a crowd of roughly 3,000 people.
Moments later, Kirk, 31, was struck in the neck by a high-powered, bolt-action rifle round fired from nearly 200 yards away.
The FBI has offered up to $100,000 for information leading to the suspect’s arrest and released surveillance photos of a “person of interest”:
a lanky man in dark clothing, wraparound sunglasses, and a T-shirt featuring an eagle and American flag with the words “Land of the free, home of the brave.”
