Law enforcement officials are set to deliver an update on the manhunt underway for a gunman who killed conservative political activist Charlie Kirk on Wednesday.
Kirk was assassinated during an appearance before several thousand attendees at Utah Valley University in Orem.
The press briefing at the university comes after officials released two people of interest several who had been detained shortly after the shooting.
“There are no current ties to the shooting with either of these individuals,” the Utah Department of Public Safety said in an update late Wednesday.
“There is an ongoing investigation and manhunt for the shooter,” the agency said.
The gunman who killed Kirk targeted him and fired from a campus building 200 yards away from where Kirk was speaking, hitting him once in the neck, according to UVU.
Kirk’s death was announced by President Donald Trump, who praised the influential activist as a “truly Great American Patriot.”
