We have a couple leads. Couple people released that probably aren\u2019t the shooter. There\u2019s a couple of hot leads and a little bit of foreign intelligence,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s possible that Solomon could be describing intelligence provided to the U.S. by an allied nation, which may have been tracking the shooter in its own capacity. Authorities on Thursday morning said they uncovered spent shell casings matching the bullet that killed Kirk and engraved with transgender and anti-fascist ideological statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think over the next couple of days we\u2019ll learn a lot more and hopefully bring to justice the evil person who did what they did to Charlie today,\u201d Solomon added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read : <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/states-news.com\/?p=2380\">BREAKING: Suspected Shooter In Custody, Kash Patel Announces [UPDATED]<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirk, 31, had just fielded a question from an audience member about the danger posed by transgender shooters like the one in last month\u2019s attack at a Minnesota Catholic school when he was struck in the neck. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead about an hour later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A U.S. Justice Department official told the Wall Street Journal that an investigation into the shooter and their whereabouts is still in its preliminary stages.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls said his team has obtained \u201cgood video footage\u201d of the individual and hopes it will lead to an identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are working through some technologies and some ways to identify this individual,\u201d Bohls said, appealing to the media for their help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Footage described at the press conference shows the individual \u201cdressed in all dark clothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe only information we have on the suspect, the possible shooter, is taken from closed-circuit TV here on campus,\u201d Mason continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe do have that. We\u2019re analyzing it. But it is security camera footage, so you can kind of guess what the quality of that is,\u201d he added. \u201cBut we do know, dressed in all dark clothing. But we don\u2019t have a much better description other than that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read : <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/states-news.com\/?p=2372\">Charlie Kirk\u2019s wife shared haunting words just before he was killed<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, whose office may be parsing the foreign intelligence mentioned by Solomon, noted the grim date of Kirk\u2019s death one day before the anniversary of 9\/11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday, on the anniversary of 9\/11, we recognize that whether it\u2019s Islamists like al-Qaeda, or the fanatics who try to stop Charlie Kirk and others from speaking the truth by banning them from campuses and ultimately by assassination, the one thing they have in common is that they are so afraid that their arguments, views, and policies will not stand when challenged in free and open debate, that they resort to violence \u2014 not only to silence the people they want to shut up but to terrorize everyone else into silence,\u201d she wrote on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There may be \u201cforeign intelligence\u201d involved in the manhunt for the assassin behind Wednesday\u2019s murder of Charlie Kirk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2383,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2393"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2394,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393\/revisions\/2394"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
