FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls confirmed that investigators found a “high-powered bolt-action rifle” hidden in a wooded area near where Kirk was killed. Officials said the FBI sent the firearm to a laboratory for detailed analysis. The discovery comes after days of intense searching by federal and local investigators.

Bohls told reporters that detectives also uncovered footwear impressions and a palm print in the vicinity of the crime scene, which could provide crucial leads. The public flooded the FBI with information, submitting more than 130 tips since Kirk’s death shocked the community. “Every piece of information helps us build a clearer picture of what happened,” Bohls said. He stressed that investigators carefully review each lead, no matter how small, to ensure they don’t miss anything. Residents in the area expressed both relief and lingering anxiety following news of the weapon’s recovery. Some praised the FBI for their thorough approach, while others worried that the suspect could still be at large.

OREM, Utah — The weapon used in the deadly shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was discovered overnight, with the FBI adding that they currently have images of the suspect. During a briefing Thursday, FBI officials said the weapon, a high-powered bolt action rifle, was found in a wooded area, although the exact location was not released.

Footprints were also discovered in the wooded area, which are currently being analyzed. CNN reports that phrases “related to cultural issues” were found written on the rifle and ammunition that were discovered in the woods. Among the markings, the outlet said, were initials that law enforcement is using in hopes of matching with a suspect. Authorities said they have viewed images and video footage of the alleged suspect but will not release those to the public immediately as the search for the unidentified person continues.
