Surveillance Footage Shows Possible Gunman Limping Toward Utah Campus Before Charlie Kirk Shooting
Federal investigators have obtained surveillance footage that they believe is highly significant in the ongoing investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
According to the FBI, video collected from neighborhood cameras in Orem, Utah, appears to show the identified person of interest walking toward the Utah Valley University (UVU) campus shortly before the shooting occurred.
The footage, timestamped at 11:49 a.m. on Wednesday, depicts a man dressed entirely in black, consistent with the description released by federal authorities.
The individual is seen moving along a residential street near the UVU campus, exhibiting a pronounced hobbling gait.
Officials believe this unusual movement may be due to the concealment of a firearm under his clothing.
Just three minutes later, at 11:52 a.m., the FBI confirmed the suspect arrived on the UVU campus where Kirk was shot. Investigators have since recovered a bolt-action rifle โ specifically, a Mauser .30-06 โ at the scene.
Authorities suspect the weapon was hidden beneath the suspectโs clothing, which may explain the irregular manner of walking captured on video.
Additional footage recorded shortly after the shooting shows a contrasting scene: students calmly evacuating the area along a paved road, while, in the background, an individual dressed in black can be seen running through an unpaved section of a residential backyard.
Investigators are working to determine whether this figure is the same individual observed earlier on neighborhood surveillance.
The FBI has confirmed that agents canvassed the surrounding neighborhood extensively, collecting security video from private residences and businesses.
Those recordings, now in the possession of federal law enforcement, are being closely analyzed as part of the manhunt for the gunman.
Federal officials continue to urge members of the public with relevant information or additional video footage to come forward, emphasizing that these materials are critical to advancing the investigation.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. โ Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.
Due to the active shooter report, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area as a precaution.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
The suspect, Gary Haley, was later found deceased aboard the vessel.
During the course of the response, officers also discovered a second adult male victim, Nathan Jones, who had been shot by the suspect.
Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.
No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has assumed responsibility for the investigation, which includes a homicide, an attempted homicide, and an officer-involved shooting.
TBI agents are actively conducting interviews, collecting evidence, and working to establish a comprehensive timeline of events.
Upon completion of the investigation, findings will be submitted to 15th Judicial District Attorney General Jason Lawson for review.
Authorities stated that additional information will be released as it becomes available.
