"Despite reports of a "person of interest" being detained late Wednesday, the suspect in the killing of Charlie Kirk remains at large as of Thursday morning. Authorities in Utah recovered a high-powered, bolt-action rifle popular with hunters in some woods near the Utah Valley University campus where the shooting occurred, and they say the suspect is likely "college-aged."

"The talk has naturally turned to violent rhetoric, and the ways in which those on the left are calling for calm while some Republicans, Trump included, are going to use this event to foment all-out war on liberals and Democrats writ large, and it could lead to a "downward slide into authoritarianism."

The suspect in the killing of Charlie Kirk remains at large as of Thursday morning. Authorities in Utah recovered a high-powered, bolt-action rifle popular with hunters in woods near the Utah Valley University campus where the shooting occurred. Investigators say the suspect is likely college-aged. FBI Director Kash Patel incorrectly announced that "the person who killed Charlie Kirk" was in custody, then said a person of interest had been released and "the investigation continues." Public reaction has centered on violent rhetoric and fears that some Republicans, including Trump, may escalate attacks on liberals and Democrats, risking a downward slide into authoritarianism. Additional incidents noted include a San Francisco stabbing and Kaiser Permanente making the COVID booster available to patients over six months.
