OREM, Utah – In a move that’s gripped the nation, the FBI dropped heart-pounding CCTV video Thursday showing the suspected gunman who cut down conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk – leaping from a building roof like a shadow in the wind, then vanishing into the woods CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
The grainy black-and-white clips, released just after sunset on September 12, capture the raw chaos of the moment. The figure – clad in a black shirt emblazoned with a soaring bald eagle, dark baseball cap pulled low, and a backpack slung over one shoulder – sprints across the rooftop of the Losee Center at Utah Valley University.

The bullet tore through his neck as 3,000 fans watched in horror. He slumped from his chair under a white gazebo in the campus quad, the kickoff spot for his “American Comeback Tour.” Medics rushed him to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, but it was too late. By evening, flags flew at half-staff nationwide, ordered by President Trump himself, who called Kirk a “martyr for truth and freedom” in a raw Oval Office CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
