Charlie Kirk Fatally Shot at Utah Campus Event; Police Probe Rooftop Shooter Claims
Prominent conservative figure Charlie Kirk has been fatally shot during a campus event at Utah Valley University (UVU), prompting an urgent police investigation. Law enforcement officials confirmed this evening that they are actively studying CCTV footage and believe the assailant, described as dressed in dark clothing, fired the fatal shot from a nearby rooftop.
The incident has sparked widespread concern, with social media users sharing a video purportedly showing a ‘shooter’ on the roof of a UVU building. BBC Verify has been analyzing this footage, which zooms in on what appears to be a dark shape on the roof of the Losee Center, approximately 150 yards from where Kirk was seated.
While the video’s quality is currently too poor to definitively identify the object, the Losee Center has been identified by a university spokesperson as the likely origin point of the shot. The video was posted on X shortly after the shooting, and its precise filming time is under investigation, with BBC Verify seeking further details from the poster. Authorities continue to gather evidence and urge anyone with information to come forward as the investigation into this high-profile shooting unfolds.
