Wait when did they find the weapon?? Last I heard they didn’t have the weapon and the 2 people they arrested were the wrong guy. So it sounds like the shooter didn’t leave the gun behind, so I would expect them to only get the weapon if they got the shooter unless I missed something between yesterday and today.
Edit: Found the update that I missed from the FBI this morning, they apparently found the weapon in a “wooded area”, so shooter still unknown
Recent reports indicate a bolt action rifle was found wrapped in a towel in the woods, one empty casing in the chamber, three more live rounds in the mag.
Utah has woods?!?
yeah the ones up by ogden are real pretty too
Yes it’s not all desert
Yup. I live relatively close to this area, and there are plenty of trees. Why? Because it’s a university in a relatively densely populated part of the city (i.e. apartments for students).
I imagine “woods” is a bit generous here though, it’s more likely a copse of trees. There aren’t any real forests in the valley, but there are areas with a bunch of trees that someone in the desert would refer to as a forest. The real forests are in the canyons and on the east side of the mountains (i.e. Uintah Nat’l Forest, Cache Nat’l Forest, etc).
Utah being a “desert” is a bit of a misnomer. It’s not like the Arabian Peninsula or the Senora Desert, it just doesn’t get a ton of rain, and we get most of our water in the winter. But there are still underground water systems and of course municipal irrigation.
Huh, I haven’t been to Utah since I was a kid and just remember rock. Lots of rock.
A lot of the famous national parks are mostly rock (Zion, Arches, etc), but we also have a few national forests and the ski areas are all pretty wooded.
UVU campus is built into a hill, and many of the hills have a fair amount of trees, especially near the lake where the water table is higher (and UVU is only a mile or so away).
I grew up in Colorado, I should probably know Utah better than I do.
Sounds like Kash Patel watched JFK last night. Was the pristine bullet from a Mannlicher-Carcano?
This is why I’m against extreme violence. “The Left” will end up like the Palestinians.
“More people will be murdered if the Left isn’t crushed with the power of the state,” Loomer added.
Even President Donald Trump blamed the shooting on “radical left political violence” in an Oval Office address Wednesday night.
William Wolfe, another Christian nationalist and a former Trump administration official, posted a video of the shooting with the comment: “The. Left. Must. Be. Destroyed.” In a separate tweet, he wrote, “The Democrats and the Left must be crushed. The goal for Republicans in the next ten years shouldn’t just be to win elections, but to destroy the Democrat Party entirely and salt the earth underneath it.”
The left can sit in a corner and play nice. It doesnt matter, facists have to induce fear in order to gain control. They’ll manufacture it they have to.
mate, that was always the plan. they will take any excuse to move in that direction no matter what you do. there is no civility with fascists.
The backpedaling on the WSJ’s lie has begun:
On September 11, 2025, The Wall Street Journal issued a caution regarding its earlier report on an internal law-enforcement bulletin concerning the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. The bulletin had mentioned ammunition found near the scene with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology” engravings, but the Justice Department indicated the report might not accurately reflect the messages on the ammunition as the probe was in its early stages.
might not accurately reflect
I love newspeak
“our report was somewhat truth-adjacent”
trump is trying anything to distract from the Epstein list
Trans-antifascists is something I can support
I hope a trans person did shoot him and I hope they get away with it. Kirk made his living by terrorizing and dehumanizing queer folks and I’m happy he finally got to the FO stage. Hopefully seeing daddy get blown away will ensure his kid doesn’t grow up to be as bigoted and the lesson is learned.
Oh Gods I hope this isn’t the case. The right would start foaming at the mouth and could start rounding us up as threats.
It’s also… a little ghoulish to speak about a kid losing their parent that way. Whatever you think of the man his kid’s grief isn’t exactly something to celebrate. I get not mourning the man but celebrating his death isn’t going to help us trans folks in the end. I have a feeling that this is going to get a whole lot worse for all of us as a people very quickly and as a whole we’re already a group hanging on by our fingertips.
Yeah if a trans person shot him best case is just a pogrom
I don’t. I hope it was a MAGA nutjob or similar so the administration doesn’t get a good boogeyman
Yeah last thing the trans community needs is a tangible reason for the admin to target them.
Not seeing other outlets report this. So yeah I’m skeptical.
The trashier ones reported on it, but then they’re not on the front page anymore.

Early Bulletin Said Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved With Transgender, Antifascist Ideology; Some Sources Urge Caution
https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/charlie-kirk-shot/card/pdymd1sXXMSlVRhpvR4b
It sounds like a bulletin was indeed circulated, and it sounds like the WSJ is being pretty candid about the law enforcement response:
Law-Enforcement Officials Sow Confusion on Manhunt for Kirk Shooter / Contradictory public statements risk undermining confidence in investigation, law enforcement veterans say
https://www.wsj.com/us-news/charlie-kirk-shooting-manhunt-e7f3eae4
So basically the federal agencies cannot be trusted here and have clearly shown their political partisanship and they got what they wanted in circulating their official false narrative to provoke political violence on the right against the lbgtq community and whatever the fuck they call the left.
Because that’s literally what they did, every right wing advocate for political violence has been clamoring about this non fucking stop and the government here has no shame about it.
2A up people, it’s going to get bad.
The proliferation of guns is directly responsible for why are here now. I really hope you are being ironic.
When did noting fascism is bad become an ideology?
When a fascist conman convinced a nation of racist rubes to give him All The Powers.
Ideology: fascism is bad, transgender people should have equal rights.
Not ideology: let’s kill everybody that doesn’t conform to our narrow minded idea of society.
I would love to hear what they mean by “transgender ideology” lmfao
I’m not kidding, apparently one of the bullets read “if you can read this, you are gay lmfao”
that usually means acknowledging that trans people exist and are the gender they say they are
scary stuff /s
that’s some impressive engraving skills
What is this? A manifesto for ants?
Really. One slip of the engraving tool or chisel and … bang.
“antifacsist ideology”?
So, what…an American Flag? Right? Right…?
Yeah, what is antifascist ideology? Like, equal rights, being nice,… That kind of stuff?
And transgender ideology? What is that? To be nice to transgender people?
My guess is “FU Nazi!” A colleague guessed the peace symbol ☮
And transgender ideology? What is that? To be nice to transgender people?
If I were to frame it in terms of an ideology - that we should be allowed to pursue happiness and comfort aided by the backing of scientific evidence to ensure we are safe. That our lives not be rendered into terms where reproductive function or lack thereof dictates how we must live our lives.
And that while we do not demand full metaphysical submission of belief of other people that we are our gender it should be acknowledged that our social engineering mechanisms are a kindness that allow us greater room to psychologicaly function. These absences of accommodation in professional situations or public design causes either our livelihoods or accessibility to spaces or facets of society to become hardships above and beyond the average citizen.
I personally do not care if someone is “nice” to me or not. I care about being able to leave their vacinity if they are being an ass and that my safety and job security isn’t effected by me being trans.
Transgender ideology? Did they write UWU on the bullet?
No it was “Notices bulges OWO what’s this?”. Other messages were: “Hey fascist! Catch!” Up arrow symbol, right arrow, three down arrow symbols (Helldivers 2 code for Eagle 500kg Bomb) and “If you read this, you are gay lmao” and “Oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao”.
a bullet but with cat ears and a choker
How big was the bullet??
I think it was a .308
30.06, roughly the same size, mainly a difference in case size, with the 30.06 being a little longer with room for more powder. Either way there’d be plenty of room for an UWU or three on the bullet, and the case of the 30.06 could fit at least 6 UWUs
You seem suspiciously knowledgeable about engraving UWU on bullets…
Can fit atleast 11 UWUs probably 9 OWOs
There were 1 OwO btw.
Not a .196?
They literally did apparently
Linux kernel source code was engraved in the bullet
“I run Arch btw”
IT WAS A NICK FUENTES GROYPER BABY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
YUP
lol bet they also found The Communist Manifesto engraved on a nano scale on the bullet casing.
They found a etching on a wall of Hillary Clinton naked that the shooter did while waiting as well … it was Banksy quality.
The bullet came from her emails!!
Buttery males!
Like how the IDF keeps finding “Mein Kampf” strewn across Gaza.
raped beheaded babies baked in ovens inside the bullets.
Kinda like how people write shit on bombs meant for Gaza but on bullets? LMAO yes I don’t believe that at all
I wonder what’s supposedly written on it. I’ll bet FCK NZI in the RUN DMC logo
