• Shooter at large: A manhunt is underway for the shooter who killed Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative political activist. The FBI released photos of a person of interest and has offered a $100,000 reward for information.

• Investigation: FBI Director Kash Patel is heading to Utah to assist with the investigation, a source told CNN. An earlier news conference was postponed today due to “rapid developments,” officials said.
