Investigators reported that they are currently analyzing security footage featuring an individual dressed entirely in dark clothing.
Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, suffered a fatal gunshot wound around 12:20 PM local time on Wednesday while delivering a speech at a public engagement. Witnesses described chaos as the event was taking place before emergency responders rushed him to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
