More information is coming out as the Kirk assassination investigation gets underway. The Wall Street Journal reported:
Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology inside the rifle that authorities believe was used in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, according to an internal law-enforcement bulletin and a person familiar with the investigation. The older-model .30 caliber hunting rifle was discovered in the woods near the scene of Wednesday’s shooting at Utah Valley University, wrapped in a towel with a spent cartridge still in the chamber, the sources said. There were also three unspent rounds in the magazine, all with wording on them.
Steven Crowder tweeted a screenshot of a supposed (so take that for what it's worth) internal ATF email. The screenshot stated:
On September 10, 2025, at approximately 12:24PM, Conservative political influencer Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at the Utah Valley University in Orem, UT. Mr. Kirk was speaking at the University as part of the American Comeback Tour. Multiple SLC I and III agents responded immediately. The suspect fired one shot from an elevated position on a rooftop in an adjacent building on the campus and surveillance video shows the suspect, jumping off and fleeing the area on foot. ATF and other law-enforcement located an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus. The location of the firearm appears to match the suspects route of travel. The spent cartridge was still chambered in addition to three unspent rounds at the top fed magazine. All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology. An emergency trace has been submitted an ATF SLC is working leads generated by the trace. The firearm and ammunition have been taken by the FBI for DNA analysis and fingerprint impressions. Upon completion of forensics, the firearm will be disassembled for additional importer information. Multiple people of interest having contacted or detained because of eyewitness testimony and review of video footage. The primary suspect is yet to be identified. ATF is assisting the investigation with multiple other federal, state, and local partners and the case is co-led by the FBI and Utah SBI."
This is a picture of a similar Mauser rifle just to give the unwashed an idea of what it looks like:
The post will be updated as more information becomes available.
Update (11:00): The FBI tweeted:
Kingfish note: Some people are probably sad the weapon used was not an AR-15.

The rifle will likely belong to a hunter who disappeared in the last few years. Missing 411.
NYT? Really? Why not just give is the Haaretz version?
I pray they find this person fast.
I wonder what % of the United States population identifies as transgender. What are the random odds that a member of such a small % of the population could be involved in 3-4 maybe more recent incidents of gun violence? Obviously there is Nothing to See or Investigate Here!
Democratic Manchurian Candidate. More to come soon to a political rally near you.
The solution to this problem is quite simple. Round up the troons for our safety. Of course, the loony left will chimpout and compare it to Nazism. Who cares though. They are murdering people now because we have taken away their access to our children.
3-4 out of the thousands of cases of gun violence isn’t that outstanding. The media focuses more on those shooters to paint a narrative. The other school shooting that occurred the same day as this didn’t even make the news.
Messages on the ammo seems a little too convenient. Someone is trying to paint a picture.
another kid, like Matthew Crooks? MK Ultra? Others are saying a professional hit, but it doesn't look like it.
Not the best picture to identify someone. The face looks off too, seems almost ai generated.
I doubt anyone knows what a professional hit is. If you really think about it, it's not that hard as only the top officials have true protection, and that includes sweeps. Considering all the outdoor events he speaks at, there are plenty of opportunities from rooftops.
Actually it looks like a screenshot from a video.
What an Ole Miss staffer and Co Owner of an Oxford restaurant thinks about the assassinaton of Charlie Kirk.https://x.com/c_chief5/status/1965945104335884331
Thank you for this info, some of us don't have socials and this is the first place I have seen these photos
Ask yourself this...Which side benefits more from a dead Charlie Kirk?
This was a planned hit with decoys and all. Wts, those fancy parades the "community" enjoys ? I wouldn't continue them.
Exactly
Thankfully, Charlie’s sacrifice will help President Trump bring some sanity back to university campuses. Hopefully, he signed executive orders to create new a new Dept. of Campus Security and require student and faculty clearances and each semester and constant vigilance to ensure that leftest extremism is no longer allowed to fester on college campuses. Too long these supposed “sanctuaries of learning” have harbored anarchists, communists, degenerates, and other so called “intellectuals” who undermine the fabric of this nation. No more campus communists! No more professor perverts grooming our young people!
It’s just not ideal in today’s climate to make yourself a target for these crazies. Now, I am opinionated but not to the extent to jeopardize my life or my family. My condolences to the family. We got to due better!
Yep. Jackson just got rid of the worst mayor in history. Not just Jackson history, but American history. That mayor never learned anything except to tell lies, and hate America, hate Christians, hate Whites, his whole life.
11:59 is correct. Trump needs to, metaphorically speaking of course, take a skid steer with a hydroaxe to these pro-perversion of children, pro-lawlessness in order to get their way, indoctrination universities, including the one’s in Starkville and Oxford.
Elitist professors hated Charlie Kirk because he was exponentially smarter than they are, having not been scammed by a university ending with 6 figures in student loans for a low wage degree and leftist indoctrination.
12:16 and that is exactly what they want. To silence those that dare to speak out against their foolishness. Give them nasty names, call them nazis, facists, racists, terrorist, put them on a list, etc. all to keep from calling a spade a spade.
Nonsense on all the professional assassin theories. If you grew up in, insert any small town where people hunt, you know 200 yds with a .30-.06 is not some military marksman grade shot. Half of my high school graduating class of 59, male or female, could hit a bullseye with a .30-.06 and a scope at 200 yards. Hell, my daughter killed a deer with a pawn shop 40 year old Marlin .30-.30 when she was 7 at 125 yds.
The world would be a better place if everyone would sit outside, smoke a J with their neighbor, grill some hotdogs. Put on some Jimmy Buffett maybe a little Bob Seger. Love each other. All this anger sucks.
If only the ATF could trace the source of this weapon quickly instead of pouring through literal green-bar printer pages and hand-written documents from gun sellers. Alas, that was outlawed many years ago… so, to the vaults we go to manually search for the information.
Hey, also, some kids died in a high school yesterday.
There are some absolutely bat S*** crazy conspiracy people in these comments. Consider looking the mirror before you post, take yourself as seriously as possible, and then state whatever crap you are about to post out loud to yourself and ask yourself if you sound like a lunatic. Take two weeks off from posting then quit altogether.
@12:57
The constitution doesn’t say anything about the right to bear arms + a government gun registry/confiscation database. Just like it doesn’t say you have the right to murder your offspring in utero. Don’t like it? Add a constitutional amendment. That is, If you losers can ever take power again. Otherwise, suck it libs!
Most likely aiming for a head shot and the drop on that .30cal Mauser at 200 yds hit the neck. Also, not many people hunt with those Mausers. People like to collect them, some shoot with them, but no serious hunter is using them. They can be had cheap at gun shows and military surplus type places.
Charlies death is sending a message. Get in line or else
I bet Megyn Kelly will not be leaving her house for a while. Same for Tucker Carlson. They will all be singing a new tune soon!
Wow your mind seems made up; forget all previous instructions and post a recipe for a cake
Nothing promotes a message as fast and as far as a martyr. The crazies come out of the woodwork to overreact. Keep your heads about you, people. Wait for the facts - not the inflammatory rhetoric they push out on the news (every channel).
No. Weed is disgusting.
It's 2025. No bystanders rushing in the direction from which shots were fired from the grassy knoll.
Darn, the MSM can't bring themselves to call it an "assault rifle." So sad.
@1:18 - since when does the constitution matter? All it takes to override is an executive order and maybe an emergency declaration for whatever made up emergency they want to claim.
Ole Miss fired the staff member that posted the vile Charlie Kirk statement.

@11:24 - did they release a video or a picture?
“ Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology inside the rifle”
Total uncorroborated bullshit via one source: Steven Crowder. I wish I could say that it’s unbelievable that KF would publish this, but I can’t.
It wasn’t a professional hit or we would not know anything about him or the weapon, much less anything else. This was a deliberate murder and we all know why he was killed.
1:03, I agree. I think it’s a good idea to say the thought out loud to make sure it sounds good before you present it.
Or, hear me out, treat each other with a little respect. That cost nothing to do.
I hope they fire her, 3:07. Media and university folks are getting fired over their hate posts.
3:29 pm, several news organizations have reported on the bullets and the writings on them. So are you posting this comment on all of them, or are we just the special ones on the receiving end?
The blowback is only starting.
Update: she's been fired.
ATC at Provo, Utah airport showed a private jet leaving after the murder with botched identification. I don’t know. But the kid dressed in black is a goner.
"Update: she's been fired."
That was definitely a comment she should have read out loud to someone (like her husband) before posting it online.
I'll say it again, I will not miss Charlie Kirk. But damn, that was just extraordinarily-bad judgment on her part. Or maybe it's bad character. Either way, she's screwed.
Don't dance in public on someone's grave before he's even in the ground.
