"Police and federal agents mounted an intense manhunt on Thursday for the sniper believed to have fired the single gunshot that killed Charlie Kirk as he was fielding questions about gun violence during a university appearance. Kirk, 31, a podcast-radio commentator and an influential ally of Donald Trump, is credited with helping build the Republican president's base among younger voters. He was gunned down on Wednesday in what Utah Governor Spencer Cox called a "political assassination"."
"Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and anti-fascist ideology inside the rifle that authorities believe was used to shoot and kill Kirk, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing a person familiar with the investigation and an internal law enforcement bulletin. The newspaper reported that the rifle had three unfired rounds in its magazine, all with the engraved wording on them. The FBI said they believe the suspect to be of "college age"."
