Manhunt for Charlie Kirk's shooter: What we know on day two

"More than 30 hours after a fatal shooting that has shaken the United States, the federal manhunt for US conservative activist Charlie Kirk's killer is intensifying. Kirk, the 31-year-old author and podcast host who helped to revitalise the conservative youth vote and return US President Donald Trump to the White House, died shortly after being rushed to hospital on Wednesday with a gunshot wound to his neck."

"On Thursday, authorities released photographs and video footage showing a person of interest racing across a university rooftop from which the fatal shot is believed to have been fired. The suspect has not yet been identified. Here is what we know about the latest in the investigation and Kirk's killing: The suspect, who fatally wounded Kirk with a single gunshot while he was speaking to a crowd of more than 3,000 people at an event at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Wednesday, remains at large."

"Utah Governor Spencer Cox said investigators had completed more than 200 interviews and asked the public to keep sending photos and videos to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He added that investigators had received about 7,000 tips from the general public. We need as much help as we can possibly get, he told a news conference on Thursday night, alongside FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino. We cannot do our job without the public's help right now."
