Welcome to the News Hour. Tonight, federal agents are intensifying their search for the person who shot and killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The 31-year-old was killed yesterday as he was speaking to a crowd at Utah Valley University.

Today, the FBI released photos of a person of interest, and investigators say they've recovered the weapon used in the attack.

Meantime, Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife are in Utah to meet with Kirk's family

and friends. Charlie Kirk's body will be flown on Air Force 2, the Vice President's plane,

from Utah to Arizona, where he lived with his family. We begin our coverage tonight with this

report. Tonight, a manhunt is underway for the shooter who killed Charlie Kirk.

At Utah Valley University, investigators scoured the campus for clues.

Good morning.

This morning, authorities say they're analyzing evidence found at the scene.

We have recovered what we believe is the weapon that was used in yesterday's shooting.

It is a high-powered bolt-action rifle.

That rifle was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter had fled.

The FBI laboratory will be analyzing this weapon. Investigators have also collected

footwear impression, a palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis. Today the FBI released

photos of a person of interest, offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

The suspect blended in well with the college institution.

We're not releasing many details right now, and we will soon, but right now we're not.

But that individual appears to be of college age.

We are confident in our abilities to track that individual.

Kirk was shot yesterday in front of a crowd of thousands gathered for the kickoff of his so-called American comeback tour.

It happened in the heart of the Utah Valley University campus.
