FBI Investigates Possible Plot Behind Charlie Kirk Assassination
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said Monday the bureau is investigating whether Charlie Kirk’s
accused assassin acted alone or had help. “If this was a larger effort, if there was any aiding and abetting…
we’re looking into that,” he told Fox News. “There’s not going to be a stone left unturned.”
Video evidence showing the gunman leaping from a rooftop after firing the fatal shot provided key forensic clues.
“This is where we got a significant portion of the forensic evidence…
the key piece of information that cracked this thing open,” Bongino explained.
Investigators also learned the suspect voiced violent intentions before the attack.
“You see this a lot in targeted violence cases… that appears to be the case here as well,” Bongino said.
Family and coworkers reported the suspect had grown political and withdrawn before the Sept.
10 shooting. Bongino concluded: “It’s fairly obvious this was an ideologically motivated attack.”
