JUST IN: FBI shares images of ‘person of interest’ in Charlie Kirk assassination

♪ ♪ >> Harris: FROM REPORTS AND PARTICULARLY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE, THINGS ARE TIGHTENING AROUND THE MAN WHO THEY THINK IS THE ASSASSIN. THEY ARE TRYING TO CATCH HIM FOR KILLING CONSERVATIVE ICON CHARLIE KIRK AT A COLLEGE EVENT IN UTAH YESTERDAY. IT’S NOT STILL BEEN 24 HOURS AND THE FBI IS MOVING QUICKLY NOW AT SOME DETAILS AND EVIDENCE THEY PICKED UP IN THE LAST HOUR OR SO. AND IT IS REVEALING THIS MORNING THAT IMAGES OF THE SHOOTER EXIST. AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE IMAGES ON YOUR SCREEN RIGHT NOW. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PERSON OF INTEREST, PLEASE CONTACT THE FBI. 1-800-CALL-FBI. AND WE WILL GET THAT ON ALL OF OUR SOCIAL PLATFORMS IMMEDIATELY. AUTHORITIES ARE SAYING THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TRACK THE SUSPECTS MOVEMENTS, AND HAVE RECOVERED THE HIGH-POWER RIFLE OFFICIALS SAY THEY BELIEVE THE SHOOTER USED IN THE ATTACK. THE FBI IS CONFIDENT IT WILL BE ABLE TO CATCH THIS PERSON. SOURCES CLOSE TO A FOX NEWS ALSO CONFIRM INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING INTO WHAT APPEARS TO BE MESSAGES WRITTEN BOTH ON THE GUN AND THE SHELL CASINGS. RECOVER BY AUTHORITY IS JUST IN THE LAST 35 MINUTES OR SO, BILL MELUGIN HAS THAT PART OF OUR STORY. THE CONTENT OF THOSE MESSAGES IS STILL UNCLEAR. AT LEAST THEY HAVE NOT REVEALED THEM TO US IN THE WIDER MEDIA. THIS IS “OUTNUMBERED.” I AM HARRIS FAULKNER WITH MY COHOST EMILY COMPAGNO AND KAYLEIGH McENANY. JOINING US TODAY LARA TRUMP, HOST OF “MY VIEW WITH L LARA TRUMP” AND LAWRENCE JONES, COHOST OF “FOX & FRIENDS.” LET’S GO TO CB COTTON AND GET THE LATEST FROM THE UNIVERSITY. >> HI, HARRIS, MULTIPLE SOURCES HAVE TOLD FOX NEWS ABOUT THE MESSAGES THAT APPEAR TO BE LEFT BEHIND ON BOTH THE AMMUNITION AND FIREARM RECOVERED FROM THE SCENE OF CHARLIE KIRK’S ASSASSINATION. SO FAR THE FBI AS YOU MENTION HAS DECLINED TO COMMENT ON THIS BUT WHAT THE AGENCY IS SAYING IS THAT THEY HAVE LOTS OF GOOD VIDEO OF THE KILLERS PATH ON THIS CAMPUS. >> WE HAVE TRACKED HIS MOVEMENTS ONTO THE CAMPUS, THROUGH THE STAIRWELLS UP TO THE ROOF ACROSS THE ROOF TO A SHOOTING LOCATION. WE DO HAVE GOOD VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THIS INDIVIDUAL. WE ARE NOT GOING TO RELEASE THAT AT THIS TIME. >> AGENT SAY THE SHOOTER GOT ON CAMPUS LESS THAN AN HOUR BEFORE ASSASSINATING 31-YEAR-OLD CHARLIE KIRK, WHO WAS VISITING UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY IN OREM WHICH IS ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY FROM SALT LAKE CITY. THE FBI SAYS THE GUNMEN BLENDED IN WELL ON CAMPUS AND APPEARS TO BE COLLEGE-AGED. AGENTS SAY HE WORE ALL BLACK TACTICAL GEAR AS HE FIRED OFF THE FATAL SHOT FROM ABOUT 200 YARDS AWAY TOWARDS THE STAGE WHERE KIRK HAD JUST STARTED ANSWERING A QUESTION FROM SOMEONE IN THE CROWD. AFTER THE SHOOTING, THE SUSPECT RAN OFF INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD ACCORDING TO FBI AGENTS WHO SAY THEY FOUND A HIGH-POWERED BOLT ACTION RIFLE IN A WOODED AREA. OTHER CLUES WERE ALSO LEFT BEHIND. >> INVESTIGATORS HAVE ALSO COLLECTED FOOTWEAR IMPRESSION, A PALM PRINTS, AND FOREARM IMPRINTS FOR ANALYSIS. >> THE FBI IS ALSO ASKING FOR ANYONE WITH PHOTOS OR VIDEOS TO PLEASE SHARE THOSE WITH THE AGENCY, AND MOMENTS AGO, THE FBI ALSO RELEASED A NEW PHOTO SAYING THIS COULD BE A PERSON OF INTEREST IN THIS CASE. I KNOW OUR SHOW PRODUCERS WILL WORK DILIGENTLY TO SHARE THAT IMAGE WITH OUR VIEWERS. HARRIS, BACK TO YOU. >> Harris: PUTTING UP THAT IMAGE OF THE PERSON OF INTEREST, CB, RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE PUBLIC’S HELP NOW. THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY TIGHTENED THEIR NET AROUND TO THE SUSPECT AND THE PUBLIC CAN BE OF IMMEDIATE HELP JUST IN CUTTING THE TIMELINE. THEY ARE GOING TO GET THIS GUY. 800-CALL-FBI. AND THE IMAGE WE WILL KEEP UP AS LONG AS POSSIBLE IS I AM SAYING THIS TO YOU AND ASKING THE TEAM WIDER THAT IS LISTENING TO FLOOD SOCIAL MEDIA WITH ALL OF THE PLATFORMS FOR “OUTNUMBERED” AS WELL. LAWRENCE, WELL, NONE OF US SLEPT LAST NIGHT, BUT YOU WERE UP ON THE AIR EARLIER THAN ANYBODY HERE ON THE COUCH, AND THIS DAY HAS GONE RAPIDLY DIFFERENT AND MAY BE PEOPLE HAD THOUGHT IN A VERY GOOD WAY. WE ARE GETTING MORE INFORMATION PAIRED WE MIGHT BE CLOSE TO GETTING THIS SUSPECTED ASSASSIN. >> Lawrence: EARLIER THIS MORNING THERE WAS A LOT OF TREPIDATION FROM ME IN PARTICULAR EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE I KNOW AND LOVE THEM RESPECT WORK AT THE FBI WE HAD NOT GOTTEN A PHOTO, BECAUSE THAT’S THE FIRST STEP RIGHT HERE, AND JUSTICE IS IDENTIFYING WHO THIS PERSON IS, SO THAT THEY CAN STAND TRIAL BEFORE THE PEERS OF THIS COUNTRY WITH A JURY, AND NOW WE HAVE THAT PHOTO. OUR IMAGINATION BASED ON THE PERSON WHO THEY TARGETED, CHARLIE KIRK, AND SINCE HE WAS GIVEN A POLITICAL SPEECH AND SINCE THEY DID NOT FIRE AT THE CROWD, BUT DIRECTLY AT HIS HEAD, WE KNEW THAT IT WAS POLITICAL, NOW WE HAVE THE SHELL CASINGS AND OTHER AMMO THAT HAD POLITICAL MESSAGES THEY ARE, SO WE ARE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER, I JUST HOPE THAT WE ARE ALL ZOOMING IN, ALL ON ENFORCEMENT, YOU HAVE TO GET THIS GUY. CHARLIE WAS A REPRESENTATION OF A MOVEMENTS, OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN AMERICA. AND I DON’T CARE IF YOU AGREED WITH HIS POLITICS OR NOT, WE CAN’T HAVE THAT IN THIS COUNTRY. >> Harris: PART OF THE EXCITEMENT TOO ABOUT CHARLIE AND I WAS SHARING LAST HOUR IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN CIRCLES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DECADES OLDER THAN HIS, CAN’T WAIT TILL HE BECOMES GOVERNOR, PEOPLE SAW THE TRAJECTORY OF THIS YOUNG MAN, BUT PART OF THE CONVERSATION WAS COULD HE BRING THE YOUTH VOTE, BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE MAY GET ACTIVATED AND MOTIVATED, BUT UNTIL THEY GO TO THE POLLS, THAT’S A BIG DIFFERENCE AND HE APPARENTLY COULD DO THAT. >> Lara: HE DID DO THAT, AS AS A FORMER RNC COCHAIR, HE WORKED VERY CLOSELY. WHAT CHARLIE WAS ABLE TO DO WAS MIRACULOUS, THE FACT THAT HE DID NOT FINISH COLLEGE, DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE BUT HIS GOAL WAS TO MOBILIZE THE STUDENTS TO REALLY CHANGE THE TENURE — TENOR ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES AND HE WAS ABLE TO DO THAT. WE SAW A HUGE SHIFT IN YOUNG VOTERS. THIS ELECTION IN PARTICULAR ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG MEN. CHARLIE PLAYED SUCH A HUGE ROLE IN THAT I DON’T THINK YOU CAN OVER SEDATED. I SAID THIS LAST NIGHT ON JESSE SHOW, BUT I BELIEVE THAT DONALD TRUMP PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF CHARLIE KIRK. WHAT HE HAS DONE AND HIS LEGACY I THINK IS EVEN TOO BIG TO COMPREHEND RIGHT NOW THE VOID AND THE HOLE THAT WILL BE LEFT IS ENORMOUS, AND I’M JUST HOPEFUL AS SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT YOU KNOW, THIS COUNTRY IN THE FORWARD PROGRESS OF THIS COUNTRY THAT SOMEONE IS ABLE TO PICK UP WHERE CHARLIE LEFT OFF, TURNING POINT USA IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT ORGANIZATION. I AM PERSONALLY VERY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING HE DID. ALL THE WORK HE DID. AND YOU CAN’T GO TO ONE OF THOSE EVENTS WITHOUT PALPABLY TAKING IN HOW IMPACTFUL CHARLIE KIRK WAS. >> Harris: I WANT TO GET YOUR RESPONSE IN PART TO WHAT IS SAYING, MORE THAN A MOVEMENT, IT’S A COMPLETE POLITICAL SHIFT, IF YOU GET A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF VOTERS WHO HAVE THE KIND OF BRAVERY TO SPEAK OUT THAT HE EMBODIED. >> Kayleigh: LARA SAW IT FIRSTHAND AT THE RNC, THE 40-POINT SHIFT IN GEN Z MAN OVER TWO YEARS. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? CHARLIE KIRK. THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF CHARLIE KIRK. AND WHEN I LOOK AT THAT IMAGE ON THE SCREEN I KNOW WE HAVE TO SHOW IT AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR A LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT I AVERAGE AND MY SOUL WHEN I SEE THAT INDIVIDUAL. AND I WANT TO TELL THAT PERSON AND I HOPE THAT SOMEONE DOES CONVEY THIS TO THIS PERSON SOMEDAY SOMEHOW, CHARLIE HAD A LIGHT IN HIM, A SPECIAL LIGHT AND YOU MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT THAT YOU EXTINGUISH THAT LIGHTS, BUT BOY DID YOU NOT EXTINGUISH THAT LIGHT, YOU SET A RAGING FIRE THAT IS HERE TO STAY AND IT IS A FIRE THAT IS GOING ACROSS THE WORLD WHEN YOU TOOK THAT YOUNG MAN’S LIFE. I JUST WANT TO SHARE QUICKLY SOME TEXTS THAT I HAVE GOT. BECAUSE I HAVE SHARED MY PERSONAL HISTORY WITH CHARLIE, THE US OR TEXT FROM PEOPLE WHO DID NOT KNOW HIM. ONE MOM SAID BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT LAST NIGHT WAS SHOCKED AND UPSET. HE PROMOTED FREE SPEECH AND LISTENED RESPECTFULLY TO DISSENTERS. A MOM FROM ACROSS THE NATION SENT ANOTHER TEXT. I WOULD FIND CLIPS, SHOW THEM TO MY THREE SONS. THEY WOULD ALMOST DEBATED CHARLIE BACK. I WAS TEACHING THEM TO HAVE CIVIL DISCOURSE. A FATHER I DID NOT REALIZE WHAT VOICE HE HAD WITH MY KIDS AND YOUNG PEOPLE. JIM JORDAN CALLED ME LAST NIGHT AND SAID HIS GRANDCHILDREN SAY THAT HE IS THE RUSH LIMBAUGH OF THEIR GENERATION AND CHIP ROY SHARED WITH ME A BIBLE VERSE HIS SON SENT HIM. AND I THINK THIS SUMS UP CHARLIE AND THIS MOMENT. FIRST CORINTHIANS 15:58. THEREFORE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, STAND FIRM, LET NOTHING MOVE YOU. ALWAYS GIVE YOURSELF OVER TO THE WORK OF THE LORD BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOUR LABOR IN THE LORD IS NOT IN VAIN. CHARLIE’S LABOR WAS NOT IN VAIN. AND TO YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN, YOU LIT A RAGING FIRE. >> Harris: A CHRISTIAN BELIEVER AND AN ANGEL AMONG US VERSUS THE DEVIL. LET’S HEAR FROM CHARLIE KIRK A LITTLE BIT. LET’S WATCH. >> I GO AROUND UNIVERSITIES AND HAVE CHALLENGING CONVERSATIONS. BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO OUR COUNTRY IS TO FIND OUR DISAGREEMENTS RESPECTFULLY, BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE STOP TALKING, THAT’S WHEN VIOLENCE HAPPENS. IT’S A GROWING TREND, BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE FACING VIOLENCE, ASSAULT, THE LEFT, YES, THE CAMPUS ANTIFA. I’VE BEEN STORMED OUT OF RESTAURANTS AND ASSAULTED PUBLICLY, MULTIPLE DEATH THREATS. >> WHAT IS YOUR GOAL? >> THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE THAN AGREE WITH ME THAN SOME PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY BELIEVE AND THEY COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK WHEN I DO STUFF LIKE THIS PAIRED WE RECORD SO THAT WE PUT IT ON THE INTERNET SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THESE IDEAS COLLIDE. WHEN PEOPLE STOP TALKING, THAT’S WHEN YOU GET VIOLENT SPREAD THAT’S WHEN CIVIL WAR HAPPENS BECAUSE YOU START TO THINK THAT THE OTHER SIDE IS SO EVIL AND THEY LOSE THEIR HUMANITY. >> Emily: SUCH AN INCREDIBLE LEGACY THAT HE HIMSELF WANTS TO BE REMEMBERED FOR HIS COURAGE OF FAITH. THAT’S ALL WRAPPED UP WITH HIM UNEQUIVOCALLY AND AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY ADVOCATING FOR PEACE IN THE CIVIL DISCOURSE. IT FOUR YEARS AGO SOMEONE ASKED IF POLITICAL VIOLENCE WAS EVER JUSTIFIED, AND HE SAID, IT IS INCUMBENT UPON US TO EXHAUST ALL PEACEFUL OPTIONS. AND THERE WAS A FIGURE LARGER THAN LIFE THAT REPRESENTED SO MUCH SAYING I HAVE GOTTEN DEATH THREATS AND BEEN ASSAULTED IN PUBLIC. IT IS HEARTBREAKING THAT THERE WAS A SUCCESS TO ONE OF THOSE MEASURES. THAT BULLET DID NOT JUST TAKE CHARLIE KIRK’S LIFE, IT APPEARS TO MOVEMENT. AND I THOUGHT THE SAME THING, LARA, IN THIS HUGE VOID AND THIS LARGER-THAN-LIFE SHOES TO FILL, AND THEN I REALIZE THAT CHARLIE’S LEGACY IS AN EMPOWERING THESE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THAT HAVE BEEN EMPOWERED WITH — CHARGED WITH AND INSPIRED BY THE CONCEPT TO THAT CIVIL DISCOURSE AND ENGAGING THOUGHTFUL LISTENING AND SIMPLY ROBUST DEBATE IS THE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD, BECAUSE WE ARE ALL AMERICANS AT ONE TIME. AND WHAT BREAKS MY HEART IN THIS MOMENT IS THE LOSS — THE LOSS FOR THIS NATION AND THE TRAJECTORY HE WAS ON. AND THAT HE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. HE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, WHICH WAS TO ESPOUSE THE BENEFITS OF PEACEFUL, ROBUST DISCOURSE. HE WAS DOING IT ALL RIGHT. EVEN HIS FIERCEST CRITICS, APPLAUDED HIM FOR DOING THAT. AND YET HE PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR IT. >> Harris: AGAIN, WE NEED YOUR HELP. THE FBI IS TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE WHEREABOUTS OF THIS PERSON OF INTEREST. SO PLEASE, LOOK AT YOUR SCREEN RIGHT NOW. AND AGAIN, WE ARE PUTTING THIS ACROSS ALL OF OUR SOCIAL PLATFORMS. SO EVEN DURING THE COMMERCIAL, CHECK IT OUT. AUTHORITIES SAY THIS GUY IS CONNECTED TO THE CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION. THE FBI TIP LINE NOW — 1-800-CALL-FBI. TRIBUTES FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL AISLE ACTUALLY ARE COMING IN NOW FOR CHARLIE KIRK. AS WE REMEMBER HIS IMPACT ACROSS THE GLOBE. >> TO ALL THE GEN Zers WATCHING THIS CONVENTION ON TIKTOK RIGHT NOW, I HAVE A MESSAGE JUST FOR YOU. WE ARE GOING TO CHOOSE SUCCESS. WE ARE GOING TO CHOOSE TO PUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICANS FIRST.
