UVU press conference has concluded without a lot of definitive answers. There is a person in custody, but it sounds like they don't know yet if they have the shooter or not.
The person taken into custody earlier at the UVU event was NOT the shooter. There is no suspect in custody at this time, nor have any suspects been identified yet.
Conservative pundit and author Charlie Kirk confirmed dead by the Washington Post.
The 31-year-old was fatally shot in the neck during a speaking engagement earlier this afternoon at Utah Valley University. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…
"Allowing [Kirk] to speak on our campus would not only misrepresent the values we hold dear but also create an environment where divisive rhetoric could flourish," the still-active petition reads #charliekirk#utpol#orem#uvu
Kirk's appearance at the Orem university as part of his 'Prove Me Wrong' tour proved to be divisive among students and residents alike. An online petition to bar him from campus ahead of today's event garnered more than 6,500 signatures change.org/p/prevent-charlie…
