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.
On the dark side of Pluto there is an outpost called Tangerine Alpha. Last year, a droid sniper named Furkin left Tangerine Alpha on a one way mission to Earth. This mission? Kill Charlie Kirk.
Why would Furkin be after Charlie you may ask...?
@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.
Did the Libtard b____ at Ole Miss get canned? YES! Now she needs her restaurant business boycotted.
Leftists are too uncouth to know when to STFU And actions like these are the only thing that might keep the bullets from continuing the fly – in both directions.

This is just the latest example of domestic terrorism, and it’s on the rise from fanatics on both extremes. Beware of fanatics, regardless of how they voted.

This is the reefer madness prohibition crowd. If you hang out long enough an old boomer will get mad about KF posting a video they can't figure out how to play on iphone
@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.
https://x.com/OleMiss/status/1966202655706865785
@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.
He published your worthless fuggin opinion. Happy bitch?
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.
September 11, 2025 at 4:38 PM; so it's OK to dance on their grave in public once they're actually in their grave? thanks for clearing that up. she's really just guilty of bad timing, then.
for those of you saying Charlie deserved this, or brought this on himself, for what is essentially him speaking his mind, having an opinion, and actually willing to debate anyone and everyone that disagrees with him, let me ask you this; and please think about your answer before you respond...
you must be ok with someone being murdered because you feel he deserved this. and if you feel he deserved this, then you must feel he did something to deserve this. all he did was speak his mind, share his opinion, and debate people. so you must feel that speaking his mind, sharing his opinion and debating with people who disagree with him is worthy of being murdered, then who is not worthy of being murdered? everybody on this planet disagrees with everybody else about something. is that where you really want things to go?
i disagree with everything trans, abortion, illegal aliens, trying to take my guns, cashless bail, judicial blessings, and on and on and on. am i now justified in murdering anyone i come across that holds the opposite view of what i believe? based on your flawed logic, then i am justified. after all, we disagree.
considering some of you are ok with this because you think Charlie deserved this, or brought this on himself, again, just for speaking his mind, sharing his opinion, and debating people, then surely you'll be ok with, and also agree with, that whoever gets murdered next probably also deserved it or brought it upon themselves.
all of you getting your panties in a teist over people mocking Charlie with worse and memes need to remember he is wuoted as saying "I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage." when referring to victims of gun violence and everyone should hold him to that.
We don't know who shot Charlie Kirk. The people claiming Trump had him shot because he called for the Epstein files to be released are no better than the ones claiming a "lib" killed him because of his bigotry.
And it didn't have to be a sniper - ask any deer hunter.
5:22 - I didn't say any of that. You did.
Charlie Kirk believed that people like me are inherently inferior and undeserving of holding skilled, professional and decision-making jobs. So excuse me if I am not sorry AT ALL for posting jokes mocking his death.
Before you eulogize Charlie Kirk for his “faith,” please remember that he was a Christian Nationalist who thought that only white native-born Christians were real Americans. He didn’t see a problem with children dying if it helped preserve the Second Amendment. He believed a 10 year old girl should be forced to bear her rapist’s child. Almost nothing he espoused had anything to do with the teachings of Jesus.
But he was a man of “faith.”
Question for the Democrats posting herein:
We/conservatives are NOT going to succumb to your demands to, as just one example, pervert children, as in the case of Washington State’s so-called standards that include “Self-Identity,” “gender identity,” etc. as young as K3.
And your side has made assassination attempts on Steve Scalise, Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump (twice) and now successfully assassinated Charlie Kirk, in which you find much joy.
So, if you’re not going to succumb to our demands to stop the perversion of young innocent children, and we’re not going to succumb to your demands to pervert children….What do you suggest we do?
The fact there are no riots, looting, and burning cities tells you all you need to know. In the words of Charlie Kirk, “prove me wrong”…
8:02, I suggest you move to Washington State, where the fight is that you want to fight in.
@802 there are violent people on both extremes of the political spectrum. Remember the Minnesota Democrats, the bombing of Gov. Shapiros home, the shooting at CDC, etc.
Those stirring up conservatives and neglecting right-wing violence are counting on conservative ignorance to advance themselves or to monetize their followers
There are very few deer hunters I know who could run across that roof both ways and scale the back wall and jump and live. This was a youthful agile trained man. And he was a hell of a shot hitting a rocking bouncing man right in the jugular from 200 yards with a relic of a rifle.
7:19, you heard that directly from him or did you interpret that info from what he said. Everyone in this country has a chance to be successful. It’s up to you to get the skills and education to do so, regardless of what anyone says. It should concern you some that a man was shot because he disagreed with a lot of what Left is saying.
R Trying to assassinate democrat legislators in MN is terrorism …effort to upset balance of political power …and dressed as a cop…not a peep from you I bet….and you don’t even remember it. Start every sentence you write with an acknowledgment of the dead MN people and then spew your drivel? Bet it is less important sounding. Oh…and go listen in church…not just go
That is a complete misrepresentation of what he both believed and said. Sadly that is the way the MSM portrayed him, but if you actually watch his videos on YouTube, you won’t find what you said to be true. In other words, you are lying, unless you are simply unqualified to hold such jobs because you lack the professional and intellectual skills for them. That lack of qualifications isn’t because of race or sex, but because you simply don’t have them.
Just keep doing what you are doing. Because if you aren’t willing to do what the left is willing to do, then you will lose. That’s the thing about conservatives. All you care about conserving is your money.
I wish everyone would study every religion. Please then find the justification for getting rich and powerful and murdering anyone who hasn't directly threatening your life or home or enslaving you that isn't taken out of context. Ironic that the founders Whether it's Buddha or Mohammed or Jesus or Confucius, they lived a humble life and preached peace and love and hope and charity and all, in one way or another, warned of " false prophets" without suggesting killing them. Seems some want to turn religion into a profitable enterprise.
1:11 AM (and 4:09), your naivete is comical. The fight is nationwide. And it’s not just your Democrat perversion of children policies that we/conservatives will not succumb to.
Tried to keep it simple for you Democrats with just one example, but let’s move on to crime and lawlessness, as another.
Democrats want the entire country to be high crime lawlessness shitholes like Jackson, Chicago, Baltimore, you get the point. And when someone like Charlie Kirk makes you look exactly like the immoral supporters of lawlessness that you are, you celebrate when he’s assassinated.
So, since conservatives will not succumb to your lawlessness immorality, and democrats will not succumb to law and order, what should the country do? State’s rights so folks can vote with their feet? Or?
7:19 You are showing your ignorance and you ability to be blinded by soundbites fed to you by MSM. You are taking the words out of context of an entire discussion about DEI and essentially making yourself out to be a victim of words. That is NOT what Kirk believed at all. That is what social media and your like-minded victimhood advocates want you to believe. You are just one of the sheep in the flock of myopic and misled lemmings. Kirk believed in equality and merit, not false promotions based solely on skin color.
7:31 In NO way did Mohammed live a humble or peaceful life, nor did he preach love and tolerance for non-Muslim neighbors. The Coexist bumper sticker on your Subaru is a joke. The Quran says infidels must convert to Islam of be put to the sword. Please, come to the front and prove me wrong.
Also, liberal deer hunters? C’mon man…
We must not depict socialism as if socialists will bring it to us on a plate all nicely dressed. That will never happen. Not a single problem of the class struggle has ever been solved in history except by violence. When violence is exercised by the working people, by the mass of exploited against the exploiters -- then we are for it!
Vladimir Lenin
First the head of the FBI claimed they arrested the shooter, then they reported antifa and pro trans markings on the ammo. Both were fake news. These 2 pictures they put out look fake. Have to wonder if putting Kraxy Eyes Kash in charge of the FBI was part of a bigger plan. He sure is a useful idiot.
So it was an older rifle? Big deal. There are plenty of older rifles that could make that shot. The Lee-Enfeld 303 probably could as old as it is. Hell, they used to sell that rifle and the Mausers at Roses years ago.
Those making a big deal about the older rifle, it was a hard to make shot, etc., are ill-informed. 200 yards is chip shot, even with a POS 2 MOA rifle.
She has a big job at UM and a restaurant in town? She is truly a morn of the highest caliber.
to 5:46.......you dont know much about older rifles , do you?
Like Charlie said….people might die by guns but it’s cool….others need guns to protect other rights….so he ate one for the team in his eyes. And in a way he got his wish for a public execution. And he also made it to 31 so he was viable and it was an illegal abortion. He accomplished more in death than he ever did in life.
She gets fired, but if the politics were reversed she’d be celebrated. Pretty screwed up how free speech is only for the benefit of the fringes of the right wing these days.
It should be fair to call a spade a spade. The way the right wing is celebrating this guy, you’d think he was a good person.
Kirk was a fascist not a socialist.
How was he a fascist?
