Good morning. My name is Robert Bohls, and I’m the special agent in charge of the FBI's Salt Lake City Field Office.  
 
Following yesterday's tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk, FBI agents and staff have been working around the clock, in coordination with our law enforcement partners. We are and will continue to work nonstop until we find the person who committed this heinous crime and why they did it.  
 
This morning, I can tell you that we have recovered what we believe is the weapon used in yesterday's shooting: 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 the weapon. Investigators have also collected footwear impression, a palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis.  
 
I understand there are a lot of questions about motive. I assure you: all leads and tips are being fully investigated. As of this morning, we have received more than 130 tips. The FBI has brought every resource to bear, and we will continue to do so throughout the course of this investigation.  
 
The FBI's mission is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States. Any attack on the First Amendment is an attack on the very foundation of our democracy. That is why we will relentlessly pursue this case until the shooter is in custody.  
 
We continue to grieve with the family of Charlie Kirk and this community. This is our community too. If you have any video or images from the shooting, please submit them to our digital medial tip website at fbi.gov/utahvalleyshooting. You can also call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. We rely on the public's help, and no tip is too small or insignificant.  
 
Thank you.
