The FBI’s Salt Lake City Field Office released a person of interest at the end of the center of interest and urged the public to help identify individuals. “We ask for help from the public to identify this person who is in connection with fatal shooting Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University,” the agency said in the X post.
In the immediate consequences of the shooting, two people were briefly detained, including those who were questioned by coercive bodies. Both were later released after the officials determined that they were not associated with the attack.
