Skytten är fortfarande på fri fot. Cnn nyss:
The search continues for a suspect in the shooting death of Charlie Kirk after a “person of interest” previously announced by authorities was released from custody.
After initially announcing that a “subject” was in custody, FBI Director Kash Patel said the person “has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement.”
The manhunt now continues hours after what the state’s governor described as a “political assassination” of one of the most prominent conservative activists in the country.
Here’s what to know:
The back-and-forth on the search for a suspect:
A person was held shortly after the shooting but then released because he was not the “accurate person of interest,” according to Beau Mason, commissioner of the Utah Department of Public Safety. “He was, however, booked in the county jail for obstruction of justice. We do still have an active investigation for the person of interest.”
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox then said law enforcement is interviewing another person of interest. This was not the same person as the one held and released earlier.
But quickly after saying that, Cox sent a message during a news briefing to “whoever did this: We will find you, we will try you, and we will hold you accountable to the furthest extent of the law.”
Patel then announced on X that the person of interest has been released following an interrogation.
The FBI has set up a digital tip line for information about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, the agency announced on X.
Who is leading the investigation? The Utah Department of Public Safety and the FBI will be co-leading the criminal investigation, Mason said.
Targeted attack: The shooter fired one shot at one person, according to Mason. Officials do believe it was “a targeted attack towards one individual.” Only one person is believed to be involved, said Gov. Cox, who called Kirk’s killing “a political assassination.”
Patel sprang för fort ut på X...
"FBI Director Kash Patel initially said on X that "the subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody."
Pressträff
Kort efter döpte guvernören Cox om det till "person of interest" och Utahs säkerhetschef Beau Mason sa vid samma presskonferens att "den misstänkte är på fri fot".
Patel:
"The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement."

Det enda de tycks ha hittills är klädd i helt mörka kläder.
