UPDATE: A report from Deseret News stated that the suspect is not yet in custody. The university had previously announced that a suspect was in custody.
Utah Valley University spokesperson Scott Trotter confirmed in a statement:
“On September 10, 2025, at 12:20 p.m., a single shot rang out in the quad near the food court on the Utah Valley University Orem Campus as Mr. Charlie Kirk began speaking at his planned rally. We can confirm that Mr. Kirk was shot, but we do not know his condition. The suspect is not in custody. Police are still investigating. The campus is closed for the rest of the day.”
The New York Times reported that, according to university spokesman Scott Trotter, police later determined that the individual initially taken into custody after the shooting was not the gunman.
Original report: A suspect has been taken into custody after shots were fired at the “American Comeback Tour” event featuring conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.

...and with the focus temporarily away on the older gentleman, that gave the suspect time to flee.
Now what chance will there be of ever finding the perpetrator...sigh

Shooter is long gone and probably already dead.

The old man might have been unable to run away, so he was the one who got nabbed.

People saying the LEO there are saying a “ pro” who knew how to setup a kill shot did it, not a random malcontent.

With all the security cameras they will know who did this.
The question is which democrat party donor paid for the killing?

They let him go.
Charlie’s widow should sue the school and the police.

I believe President Trump will put plenty of resources onto figuring this out.

John Solomon was just on Steve Bannon and said the Feds are saying this appears to be a professional hit.

Just when they were blaming the “Boomer generation” they pull this!
One said, “It was an old white boomer hippie”.

I’ll wait for the facts, but an old guy and a purported 200 yard shot don’t add up.

I wonder if that was the plan all along. I will bet you money there are more than one perp, and several of them are affiliated with the university.

I don’t guess anyone knows if the old man was a red herring…decoy to allow the shooter time to get away?

So, it wasn’t an old bald & bespectacled white guy who did it...
What were those initial indicators that led to his arrest?

Have they recovered a rifle or did the suspect flee with it? I haven’t heard anything about that or if they’ve determined the caliber of the bullet yet.
To: ComputerGuy
The “old” man might have been a decoy deliberately acting to distract attention from the assassin.
