Approximately 12:20 Mountain Standard Time, Charlie Kirk was shot at an event at the Utah Valley University and transported to Timpanogos Hospital, where he later passed. The Utah Department of Public Safety will be co-lead this criminal investigation with the FBI, working in unison with the county sheriff's office, local police, and the university police. Shortly after the shooting, a suspect, George Zinn, was in custody but released after failing to match the shooting suspect; he was booked into the county jail by UVU Police for obstruction of justice. We still have an active investigation for the person of interest. The incident occurred with a large crowd; there was one shot fired and one victim. While the suspect is at large, this is believed to be a targeted attack toward one individual. Call 988 for mental health support; FBI to discuss public tips. Thank you.

The speaker announced that the person of interest who had been detained earlier today will shortly be released from Providence police, and the attorney general can speak to the rationale for that. The community was informed that the individual will soon be released, and this is expected to cause fresh anxiety. Since the initial call about a day and a half ago, there have been no credible or specific threats to the Providence community, and the overall safety status remains unchanged. The community remains safe, though there will continue to be an enhanced police presence throughout the city and on the Brown campus. Residents are asked again to provide any information that could assist with the ongoing investigation. Resources for submitting information are the same as before: video or photos can be uploaded to the FBI website created for this incident at fbi.govbackslashbrownuniversityshooting, or calls can be made to the Providence Police non-emergency number (401) 272-3121. The investigation into this horrific act remains ongoing. The speaker acknowledged frustration from community members about the language used—specifically, referring to the individual as the “person of interest.” This reflects that the investigation was and continues to be ongoing, and there will be an effort to avoid confirming information that is not yet confirmable in order to remain as transparent as possible and share the best information available.

"And, we all lost, no matter what side of the political aisle you're on, we lost something important in America today. But, the case goes on. The investigation goes on. There's a lot of piecing of evidence together. We don't have a shooter tonight. We have a couple leads, couple people that were released that probably aren't the shooter. They have a couple hot leads. There's a little bit of foreign intelligence. And I think over the next couple of days, we will learn a lot more, and hopefully, we will bring to justice the evil person who did what, they did to Charlie today. Yeah. I am hearing that they do have a couple of people of interest. That's the latest I heard from law That's correct. Law enforcement. You're hearing the same thing."

Speaker 0: "We still have, basically confirmation he got shot. ... immediate incapacitation." He asserts "the FBI is lying" and that "it's quite literally not possible for the shooter to have been on the roof that they claim he is along with other inconsistencies across the board." Speaker 1: "Keep your eye on this space here... the bullet matches the exit wound, ... the shirt puffing up and the angle of the entry and exit." He adds: "the same what appears to be the bullet coming down and it does line up with the actual gunshot itself." From Google Earth, "the shooter was up here somewhere, that's the angle that the bullet was coming down from." "the shooter was most likely here somewhere." "Somewhere on those stairs would be my tip, and if the FBI aren't looking there, I don't know why."

According to the FBI, Tyler was positioned here and took the shot. The video they provided to us, and it's edited. It starts as Tyler's running off the roof, but this is that rooftop vent; had they given us the full video, we should have been able to see Tyler in this area with his back or with his backpack and his gear and assembling, disassembling the gun, whatever the FBI is saying. But instead, we get the video of him running off the roof. We don't get the full video. The camera was positioned somewhere right here. This is the field of view of the camera. So we've got an edited version, and I think we need to push to get the whole version.

Wanna bring in now, this is actually, let's start with this new statement from Utah Valley University. We had a speaker, Charlie Kirk, invited by a student group, Turning Point USA, speaking on campus today at noon at about 12:20. Shots were fired from a building about 200 yards from the speaker. According to the best of our knowledge, the individual was hit and was taken away immediately by his security personnel. That individual, of course, is Charlie Kirk. Campus is closed for the rest of the day, our campus police have a suspect in custody. So that is new information. 200 from a building, 200 yards from the shooter is the newest information from the university.

We have a situation with at least one suspect down, but there may be more. The shots fired were all headshots, indicating a targeted attack. There’s a lot of focus on the scene, and it appears that the shots were aimed directly at the victims. Regarding the claims of conspiracies or multiple gunmen, there have been no findings to support these assertions. The only identified shooter is Mr. Paddock.

"And just last night, the suspect was taken into custody at 10PM local time in less than thirty six hours, 30 three to be precise." "For thirty three hours, I was I was praying that that if this had to happen here, that it wouldn't be one of us." "This thing is not commercial at all. It is most likely a surveillance drone and someone was flying it over the campus for a particular reason." "The main suspect in Kirk's killing is now Tyler Robinson and he is in custody." "This translates to approximately one in 2,000,000,000." "The FBI agents didn't even bother to show him the photos of the shooter for twelve hours." "Yes. Yes. So when he's first spotted on campus, he has different clothing on," "Look folks, it's very easy to just believe whatever we're being told, but we cannot afford to do that anymore."

Speaker 0: Suspect in custody. They've released that individual. And they're still looking for him. Do they think it's in he's in this building? This they're they're thinking this building right now? Speaker 1: No. No. We have cameras that show that he left campus. Speaker 0: It shows cameras that he left campus. Yeah. Thank you. Speaker 1: Bye. Speaker 0: Bye bye. Speaker 1: Bye.

And, we all lost, no matter what side of the political aisle you're on to, we lost something important in America today. But, the case goes on. The investigation goes on. We don't have a shooter tonight. We have a couple leads, couple people that were released that probably aren't the shooter. They have a couple hot leads. There's a little bit of foreign intelligence. And I think over the next couple of days, we will learn a lot more, and hopefully, we will bring to justice the evil person who did what, they did to Charlie today. I am hearing that they do have a couple of people of interest. That's the latest I heard from law enforcement. You're hearing the same thing.

The speaker describes the ongoing investigation in Rhode Island, detailing the current state and expected progression. Tonight, dozens of Providence police officers were at the command post working to develop leads in the difficult campus-tragedy case, with prosecutors (six in total) and victim services staff present at the hospital. The speaker notes that investigations can shift direction, and this has happened over the last twenty-four hours, requiring the team to regroup and pursue new avenues. Leads were developed in multiple areas, including one line that led to a person of interest being chased to ground and detained. The speaker explains the distinction in terminology, noting that “person of interest” signals some level of evidence that pointed in that direction, but that evidence needed corroboration and confirmation. Over the last twenty-four hours, evidence has redirected, and the person of interest now needs to be released. The speaker acknowledges that the person’s name was leaked to the public, describing it as unfortunate and difficult to retract. Moving forward, the speaker emphasizes careful handling to protect the victims and their families, stating there is too much at stake to take any chances. The plan is for the Providence Police Department, as the principal leads, to continue the investigation, with amplified resources from state and federal agencies. Specifically, additional support will come from the state police, the FBI, the ATF, the DEA, the Marshals Service, and others as leads are developed and progress is made toward justice. The speaker notes that progress could be rapid, but it could also take some time. In summary, the investigation remains active and evolving, with the police department and prosecutors continuing to pursue leads, re-evaluate information as new directions emerge, and coordinate with multiple agencies to advance the case while ensuring due care for the victims and their families.

I want to share with the people of Rhode Island what this investigation looks like, where we are today, and where we anticipate it moving forward. Last night, there were dozens of Providence police officers working in the command post to develop leads in this difficult case, both because of the campus tragedy and the challenge of developing evidence. Our prosecutors—six in total—were there, and our victim services folks were at the hospital. This is what these investigations look like: sometimes you head in one direction, then you regroup and go in another. That has happened over the last 24 hours or so. Collectively, the team developed leads in multiple areas. One lead was chased to ground, leading to the detainment of a person of interest. Those words reflect that there was some degree of evidence pointing to this individual, but that evidence needed to be corroborated and confirmed. Over the last 24 hours, leading into very recently, that evidence now points in a different direction. This means that this person of interest needs to be and should be released. It is unfortunate that this person’s name was leaked to the public, and it’s hard to put that back in the bottle. We will proceed very carefully here, because there is too much at stake for the victims of this horrific crime and their families to take chances with respect to this investigation. Going forward, our team of prosecutors will be working with the Providence Police Department as the principal leads in this investigation. Our resources will be amplified by the state police, the FBI, the ATF, the DEA, the Marshal Service, and others as we develop leads and move toward justice in this case. This could happen very quickly, but it could also take some time.

There have been new developments in the investigation. The suspect changed his work schedule before the incident, was seen with a range finder at a Trump rally, and later climbed onto a roof with a rifle. He aimed the range finder at countersnipers before opening fire on police. His car contained remote controlled bombs, loaded magazines, and a bulletproof vest. Investigators are still trying to determine his motives and what his intentions were.

The latest information from CNN indicates that the person of interest in the shooting is identified as 24-year-old Benjamin Erickson of Wisconsin. The report notes that he is the individual authorities are focusing on as the suspect in connection with the incident, and that he is currently in custody with charges not yet disclosed as authorities continue to prepare them. According to the sources cited, Erickson grew up in the Milwaukee area and attended high school there. After high school, he went on to attend the University of Wisconsin. The timeline suggests that he left or altered his course of study sometime after completing high school, with indications that this transition occurred in the period following the end of the COVID-19 shutdowns. In addition to his time at the University of Wisconsin, Erickson served in the United States Army. The reporting specifies that his service took place at Fort Myer, which is located just outside Washington, D.C. The account characterizes his role as part of an elite ceremonial unit and an honor guard. It describes his duties as involving marching presentations and work with horses, rather than deployment to any combat or war zone, based on information checked with official contacts at the Department of Defense. The report also notes that there appeared to be no criminal background on Erickson. This aspect is highlighted by the sources as part of the summary of his record prior to the incident in question. There is some discussion in the reporting about Erickson’s academic status. According to his own posts, he switched from the University of Wisconsin to Brown University for the year 2025. This detail has become a point of contention because officials previously stated that he was not a student at Brown University. The reporting suggests there is a possibility that he was suspended or had been moved out and was not enrolled at the time of the shooting with which he is allegedly connected. Regarding the investigation status, authorities have not publicly disclosed the charges at this time. The report states that Erickson is in custody, and that authorities are in the process of drawing up or confirming charges, though the specific legal actions have not been made explicit in the information available to the public at this moment. In summary, the key facts presented are: Benjamin Erickson, 24, of Wisconsin, identified as the person of interest; Milwaukee-area high school background; studied at the University of Wisconsin and later associated with Brown University for 2025; Army service at Fort Myer as part of an elite ceremonial unit and honor guard with horse-mounted duties; no known criminal background; currently in custody with charges not yet disclosed as investigations proceed.

And, we all lost, no matter what side of the political aisle you're on to, we lost something important in America today. But, the case goes on. The investigation goes on. There's a lot of piecing of evidence together. We don't have a shooter tonight. We have a couple leads, couple people that were released that probably aren't the shooter. They have a couple hot leads. There's a little bit of foreign intelligence. And I think over the next couple of days, we will learn a lot more and hopefully, we will bring to justice the evil person who did what, they did to Charlie today. Yeah. I hope so. I am hearing that they do have a couple of people of interest. That's the latest I heard from law That's correct. Law enforcement. You're hearing the same thing.

Police are not releasing a suspect description at this time due to conflicting information received from numerous scared callers. The police are calling it a "fire hose of information." It is unknown whether the incident started with a brawl or involved more than one shooter. The situation is preliminary, and detectives are working to find a concurrent indication of what actually happened. A thorough investigation is underway due to people running in different directions.

Charlie Kirk was at Utah Valley University. Charlie was shot at that event. He was transported to a local hospital where he later passed. These individuals were not suspects. They were people of interest. We are not going to release that at this time. We have good video footage of this individual. Following yesterday's tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk, FBI agents have been working around the clock in coordination with our law enforcement partners. We have recovered what we believe is the weapon to be that was used in yesterday's shooting. It's a high powered, bolt action rifle. The rifle was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter had fled. As of this morning, we received more than a 130 tips. The FBI's mission is to protect the American people. Any attack on the First Amendment is an attack on the very foundation of our democracy.

And, we all lost, no matter what side of the political aisle you're on, we lost something important in America today. But, the case goes on. The investigation goes on. There's a lot of piecing of evidence together. We don't have a shooter tonight. We have a couple leads, couple people that were released that probably aren't the shooter.

I am hearing that they do have a couple of people of interest. That's the latest I heard from law That's correct. Law enforcement. You're hearing the same thing.

There have been new developments in the investigation. The suspect changed his work schedule before the incident. He was seen with a range finder at a Trump rally, observed by security. Later, he was spotted on the roof with a rifle. When confronted by police, he opened fire. In his car, there were remote-controlled bombs, loaded magazines, and a bulletproof vest. Investigators are still trying to understand his motives and what he planned to do next.

they have a rifle, cartridges collected from the woods near the attack location, and footprints compared to the suspect’s shoes. the video was going to be the catalyst, and photographs or images from someone who knew him could reach out to law enforcement or, per the president, push him to turn himself in. multiple sources confirm a person of interest is in custody. a press conference has been slid back as authorities prepare to release information. the community has known that someone had viciously killed Charlie Kirk. police were confident there was no ongoing threat to the public, but there were many unknowns. they’re hopeful this will conclude the case; a name is confirmed by sources as the person in custody, but not released until officially. my sources are breathing a sigh of relief that this case has taken a dramatic turn for the better if this pans out.

"This morning, I can tell you that we have recovered what we believe is the weapon to be that was used in yesterday's shooting." "It is a high powered bolt action rifle." "That rifle was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter had fled." "So the FBI laboratory will be analyzing this weapon." "Investigators have also collected footwear impression, a palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis." "Now, I understand there are a lot of questions about motive." "I assure you that all leads, tips, and tips are being fully investigated." "As of this morning, we have received more than a 130 We thank the community for that."

There is reason for people to believe that this is a professional hit job. John Salmon is an excellent reporter, and Steven Crowder has some leaked information. I want to talk about both. I want to begin by saying that I'm very, very close with Charlie and his team, and here is the thing that I wish to relay to you from them: that there is some considerable evidence that there were state actors involved here. That's it. I don't want to go any further than that. I can't go any further than that. That is all I've that is what I've been told. It is not like this is exclusive to me necessarily. John Solomon said it last night on Sean Hannity's show. Here we go. There's a sense that we all lost something important in America today, but the case goes on. The investigation goes on. There's a lot of piecing of evidence together. We don't have a shooter tonight. We have a couple leads, a couple people that were released that probably aren't the shooter. They have a couple hot leads. There's a little bit of foreign intelligence. And over the next couple of days, we will learn a lot more, and hopefully, we will bring to justice the evil person who did what, they did to Charlie today.

We were able to track the movements of the shooter. Starting at 11:52AM, the subject arrived on campus shortly away from campus. We have tracked his movements onto the campus, through the stairwells, up to the roof, across the roof to a shooting location. After the shooting, we were able to track his movements as he moved to the other side of the building, jumped off of the building, and fled, off of the campus and into a neighborhood. We do have good video footage of this individual. We are not going release that at this time. If we are unsuccessful, we will reach out to you as the media, and we will push that publicly to help us identify them. We are exhausting every lead. We have every officer invested in this, every investigator, every local agency.
