"The biggest revelation from that news conference, which included FBI director Kash Patel and other agents, as well as the governor of Utah, was a video showing the suspect fleeing the rooftop from which he shot Kirk and then dropping to the ground. The conference lasted barely 10 minutes and there was no time for questions from reporters. Utah Governor Spencer Cox explained that the suspect was wearing Converse sneakers."
"He said that, after the first photographs were released hours earlier, the FBI had received more than 7,000 leads and tips, a number, he added with some pride, unprecedented since the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. The governor asked people not to believe what they read on social media, where all kinds of wild theories about the murder are circulating. He added that agents and lawyers are working around the clock to move forward with the necessary paperwork."
