As confirmed by the FBI, the rifle used to shoot Charlie Kirk during an outdoor event at Utah Valley University has been retrieved. Further investigations are underway as the sniper is yet to be found.
FBI official Robert Bohls stated that the weapon used was a high-powered rifle that was found in a wooded area, reports Reuters.
Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old conservative leader and a close ally of Donald Trump who was present at Utah Valley University was fatally shot in the neck while he was seated on a chair and answering a question on mass killings.
U.S. President Donald Trump referred to Kirk as a ‘true patriot’ of the nation as he blamed the radical left for Kirk’s assasination.
As the investigation unfolds, the only takeaway from this incident is that there is no place for such heinous acts in a democracy.
