The Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI has offered a reward of up to $100 dollars for information leading to the identification and arrest of the person or people responsible in the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Kirk was speaking at a university in Utah, yesterday, when he was hit in the neck by a single bullet. He was taken to hospital but died a short while later. In other developments, the FBI says it has recovered a high-powered rifle that agents believe was used to kill Kirk.

They also say they have video images of the suspect, who remains on the run. Kirk was a major supporter of President Donald Trump and considered a key figure in growing support for Trump among younger voters.

The FBI released photos of someone they described as a ‘person of interest’ wearing a hat and sunglasses in the shooting of Charlie Kirk and did not say the person was the suspected shooter. More updates: https://t.co/lqRLvYlE68 pic.twitter.com/6H4C6arAcW
