Patel said the FBI has released a person of interest in the shooting death of Kirk, less than two hours after he announced publicly that the bureau had that person in custody.
“The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement,” Patel said in a post on X at 7:59 p.m. ET. “Our investigation continues and we will continue to release information in interest of transparency.”
A giant crowd of people dispersed, I’d be surprised if it isn’t like 3-4 days before they find the real guy. Longer if its just a bunch of incompetent political stooges operating on assumptions that its a democrat or something.
But normally when there’s an active shooter they herd everyone into a safe space like an auditorium, or gymnasium, or some other safe space on campus. Pretty sure they ordered everyone to evacuate campus immediately.
Like if this had been a Texas bell tower situation and you tell everyone to just scatter and evacuate, you’re not only putting people in harms way if they start shooting again, you’re potentially helping the shooter escape in the chaos.
But several news sources state the university was evacuated, which is a weird response bc typically universities have lockdown procedures in place.
I was on a campus once with just a rumored active shooter and we had to stay locked down in one room for like an entire half a day while security roamed the campus looking for him. Like people were getting in trouble for leaving the rooms to go to the bathroom. It seems weird within the first hour they evacuated everyone from the campus.
They had university security, kirks security, the local police and I’m guessing within the hour the FBI
I don’t particularly feel like watching the video again before bed, but you could calculate it by observing the time delay between the hit and the gunshot. You’d have to know the cartridge to get a rough idea of muzzle velocity, but it was around 90 in Utah today so the speed of sound should be just around 1150 ft/s. 5.56 averages 3000 ft/s.
I mean you could also just make some bullshit up. How TF did they arrest the wrong person twice? The only description they have is a man in dark clothing…?
This is shady as fuck. Trump is about to go hog wild taking full advantage of the patriot act and a now basically empty DHS office of civil rights and liberties in order to go after anyone he labels a domestic terrorist. Which I’m guessing will be anyone who is a registered Democrat.
I mean they’re frothing at the mouth to crack down on political opponents. Given the big balls incident seems fake at best, my guess is they wont bother releasing info on the shooter if its not who they want it to be.
I assume people could tell them where the shot came from, even if they couldn’t identify the shooter. Someone was bound to be looking in that direction and see the flash.
Charlie Kirk fatally shot at campus event; ‘person of interest’ released: Live updates
So where did that 200 yards estimate come from?
You can get pretty good info from footage
Likely we’ll see some footage of the sniper at some point.
So how did he just walk away?
It’s also really weird they told everyone to just evacuate the campus instead of having a lockdown procedure.

The videos didn’t seem to indicate an organized response.
