BURST
It’s been more than a day since Charlie Kirk was gunned down and the main clues so far are a palm print, a shoe impression and a high-powered rifle found in a wooded area promoting authorities to seek the public’s help.
Here are the latest updates as the hunt for the suspect-at-large unfolds:
People celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death could lose their U.S. visas
Existing visas could be revoked or denied of people celebrating Kirk’s death, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau posted on X Thursday.
“In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country. I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action,” Landau posted on X.
He urged the people on the social media platform to highlight such comments by “foreigners to my attention so that the State Department can protect the American people.”

Utah governor’s plea for help to catch Kirk’s killer
The investigators released a series of photos and video of the suspect they believed assassinated the 31-year-old Trump ally as he spoke to students gathered in the courtyard of the Utah Valley University in Orem.
“We cannot do our job without the public’s help right now,” Utah’s Governor Spencer Cox said during a press conference on Thursday. “The public has answered our call for action.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has received over 7,000 tips and leads, Cox said. Director of FBI Kash Patel was also in attendance but did not speak. Cox said that the last time authorities received this many tips was during the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.
A US$1,00,000 award is being offered for information leading to the arrest, Cox said.
