Witnesses say security failed at the Utah rally where Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on September 10. Kirk, 31, was speaking at Utah Valley University when a rooftop gunman fired a single shot to his neck. Attendees reported no metal detectors, checkpoints, or ticket checks—anyone could walk in freely. Videos of the moment spread online before mainstream outlets even reported it.
Though the FBI initially claimed a suspect was in custody, police later confirmed the shooter is still at large, with footage showing a man on a nearby rooftop in jeans and a black vest.
