FBI releases photos of a person of interest in Charlie Kirk’s assassination

The FBI released photos of a person of interest in the shooting of Charlie Kirk as investigators are appealing to the public for tips.

The suspect is believed to have jumped off a roof and fled into a neighbourhood after firing one shot and has not yet been identified, authorities said Thursday. Previously they've announced they recovered a high-powered rifle that may have been used in the deadly attack.

The circumstances of the shooting drew renewed attention to an escalating threat of political violence in the United States that, in the last several years, has cut across the ideological spectrum. The assassination drew bipartisan condemnation, but a national reckoning over ways to prevent political grievances from manifesting as deadly violence seemed elusive
