“It was amateur hour,” said Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, in comments to HuffPost. “Historically, the FBI keeps its mouth closed until it believes it’s the right time and the right message.”
Ongoing Investigation of Charlie Kirk Killer
Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason said investigators have successfully tracked the movements of the shooter and have obtained “good” video footage, though it will not be released to the public at this time.
A press conference scheduled for Thursday afternoon was abruptly canceled due to what officials called “rapid developments in our investigation.”
The FBI is appealing directly to the public for assistance. “Every lead matters,” said Salt Lake City FBI Special Agent Robert Bohls. “We encourage anyone with even the smallest detail to reach out.”
As the manhunt continues, the tragic death of Charlie Kirk has left many mourning his loss and demanding answers about how such a high-profile shooting could happen at a university event.
