A manhunt is underway after conservative activist Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot dead during an event at Utah Valley University. Police said the gunman fired from a rooftop before fleeing. Two men were detained but later released, with officials saying they had “no current ties” to the case. Authorities have not confirmed any clear leads. Mourners gathered at a memorial with flowers. US President Donald Trump called the killing a “heinous assassination” and a “dark moment for America.” Kirk, who founded Turning Point USA at 18, was considered a close ally of Trump and his family.
