The FBI called for the public’s help in tracking the suspected shooter of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, releasing photos of a person of interest.
Images released by the bureau show a man wearing a hat and sunglasses as well as an American flag T-shirt.
In an early morning press conference in Utah, FBI leadership said that the shooter “blended in well with a college institution,” appearing to be college-aged.
The images come after the FBI called on the public to send any footage they had of the event at Utah Valley University, where the 31-year-old Kirk was shot while speaking at an event.
But the FBI had initially expressed hesitation about releasing any photos.
“We do have good video footage of this individual. We are not going to release that at this time,” Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason said.
“If we’re unsuccessful in identifying them, immediately, we will reach out for the public’s help and the media’s help in pushing those photos.”
