Photos released on September 11th, 2025, show the suspected shooter's vantage point on a nearby building's roof during the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk in Orem, Utah, on September 10th. Kirk was speaking at a Turning Point USA event on the campus of Utah Valley University when he was shot from over 200 yards away. The suspect remains unidentified. Trump Chief of Staff Susie Wiles expressed confidence on September 11th, 2025, that the individual responsible for Kirk's assassination will be apprehended quickly, stating, "my money is on them finding this person quickly." Wiles also noted the prevalence of misinformation surrounding the event and her desire to avoid contributing to it. The FBI previously announced a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator. The investigation into the assassination is ongoing, with the suspect still at large. In unrelated news, lawmakers are reportedly fearful for their safety following Kirk's assassination, leading some to change their behavior. The U.S. Coast Guard is also investigating inappropriate social media activity by a member, which the agency stated is contrary to core values.
