Brian Entin Reports From Utah Valley University as FBI Releases New Person of Interest Photos

[00:00] Hey guys. So, I want to give you the

[00:01] latest now on the Charlie Kirk um murder

[00:04] assassination investigation. I was just

[00:06] down I I just got moved back, but I'm

[00:08] going to show you in a second. I got

[00:08] video of where they found the firearm,

[00:11] the roof. There's apparently a ladder

[00:12] leaned up against the roof. I'm going to

[00:13] show you that in a second, but first of

[00:14] all, I want to get right to this um new

[00:17] picture that was released. Um this this

[00:20] is a picture of the person of interest

[00:22] released by the FBI. So, take a really

[00:25] good look. There's two pictures here.

[00:27] Um, this is from what we believe is

[00:29] surveillance footage, um, surveillance

[00:32] footage at the college here. Um, and

[00:36] it's pretty clear. You can see, uh, we

[00:39] think it came from Utah Valley

[00:40] University surveillance footage. Um, but

[00:42] you can see what this person of interest

[00:45] looks like. Looks like he's wearing a

[00:46] hat, sunglasses, um, uh, looks like a

[00:49] kind of a hoodie or sweatshirt, some

[00:51] kind of American flag type,

[00:55] you know, emblem on the front. And then

[00:56] there's another shot farther back where

[00:58] you can see again the sort of sweatshirt

[01:00] looking shirt with the American flag.

[01:02] Looks like jeans, white sneakers,

[01:05] um, sunglasses, obviously maybe trying

[01:08] to conceal his identity, wearing the

[01:09] sunglasses and the hat. Um, so obviously

[01:13] take a close look at these. If you

[01:14] recognize this person, uh, call the FBI

[01:18] um, right away. Let me go to this video.

[01:20] I just got this video uh, before I was

[01:23] moved back from this area. So, back

[01:25] behind the sort of amphitheater where

[01:27] Charlie Kirk was speaking, there's this

[01:30] little wooded area, not far away at all,

[01:31] maybe a couple of hundred yards. And you

[01:33] can see they've taped it off. This is

[01:35] where they've discovered the suspect's

[01:38] firearm. According to the FBI, they say

[01:41] that it is a boltaction rifle that was

[01:44] found in the woods right here.

[01:47] There's this sort of perimeter road that

[01:49] goes around the university and um right

[01:53] on the other side of the this road is

[01:55] where just this it's not it's not like a

[01:57] like a big forest. It's just a little

[01:58] wooded area between the university and a

[02:01] neighborhood. Again, they've got it

[02:03] taped off and that is where it appears

[02:04] they found the firearm. There's FBI um

[02:07] evidence teams out there in that whole

[02:10] area. Was able to get right up there and

[02:12] get this footage and then I got moved

[02:13] back and and sort of kicked out of that

[02:15] area. So, um, then right on the other

[02:17] side of the perimeter, right on the

[02:19] other side of the perimeter road, um, is

[02:23] the the building that it appears the

[02:25] suspect was able to get up on top of the

[02:27] roof and shoot Charlie Kirk. And what I

[02:30] thought was interesting here is there is

[02:33] a ladder that is leaning up against the

[02:35] building.

[02:37] Uh, I don't know if that ladder was put

[02:39] there by the FBI so that they could get

[02:41] on the roof or if the shooter used a

[02:44] ladder to get up on the roof, but my

[02:46] first thought when I saw this was I was

[02:48] thinking of Butler. Uh, because when I

[02:50] was in Butler when President Trump was

[02:52] shot, um, it was a very, very similar

[02:55] scene in terms of a ladder leaned up

[02:57] against a building. Again, I don't know

[02:59] in this and in that case, the suspect,

[03:01] the shooter did use the ladder to get up

[03:04] under the roof. I don't know in this

[03:05] situation if um if the FBI just put that

[03:09] ladder there, but they seemed interested

[03:11] in the ladder. They were taking pictures

[03:12] around the ladder. And you can see the

[03:14] ladder here in this photo and FBI teams

[03:17] just all over that area. It's a small

[03:19] area from where the amphitheater is to

[03:22] where the roof is to where the gun was

[03:25] found. It's not like this is really

[03:26] really spread out. Um it's all within,

[03:30] you know, maybe like a city block. Uh,

[03:33] so the latest, let me go over the latest

[03:35] from the FBI. The latest update that we

[03:38] got is that um the persons of interest

[03:41] interviewed yesterday, um, so I'm just

[03:44] going to lean up against my car here.

[03:45] Oh, shoot. The persons of interest uh

[03:48] interviewed yesterday are not suspects.

[03:51] They actually said to like leave those

[03:52] people alone. Remember, first there was

[03:53] the old guy who was uh detained out at

[03:56] the Charlie Kirk event. um and then he

[04:00] was let go, we're told. And then there

[04:02] was another person of interest who was

[04:05] uh taken into custody and questioned.

[04:07] That person has also been let go. It was

[04:09] confusing yesterday because the FBI

[04:11] director, which I went over all this in

[04:12] my video from last night, but the FBI

[04:14] director put out this tweet saying they

[04:15] had a sub subject in custody. A lot of

[04:17] people were relieved and thought that

[04:18] was going to be the person, uh later

[04:21] followed up and said that person was let

[04:22] go. Um so there is no suspect in

[04:26] custody. the persons of interest

[04:27] yesterday are not connected to the case

[04:29] according to the FBI today. Um the area

[04:33] where I just got video where they found

[04:35] the firearm, we are told that it was a

[04:38] boltaction rifle that was found in that

[04:41] area. Um and that the suspect blended in

[04:44] well and appears to be college age. And

[04:46] let me just show you the picture again.

[04:48] You can see um this is the person of

[04:51] interest now. This is the latest picture

[04:53] they put out and they say that he

[04:54] blended in well uh and appeared to be of

[04:59] um college age, which would make sense

[05:01] because there were so many people um at

[05:04] the event. You saw them all go running

[05:05] in the video and this person apparently

[05:08] just blended in and that's how they were

[05:09] able to get away. Getting off the roof,

[05:12] crossing the perimeter road, um which is

[05:14] actually this road right here behind me

[05:16] that goes around the university. um and

[05:18] then ditching the gun in the wooded area

[05:21] right there and then fleeing into a

[05:22] neighborhood which is right behind that

[05:25] wooded area. Again, it's all very very

[05:26] very close. So, the reason they say he

[05:28] got away is because he blended in well

[05:30] and appears to be college age. Uh and

[05:32] they say they have good video footage

[05:34] which now is backed up by this latest

[05:36] photo that was just released. Um and

[05:38] again, just take a good look at this

[05:39] photo because this is really the most

[05:40] important thing right now. um is getting

[05:42] this picture out there because who knows

[05:45] where this guy could be could be now. Um

[05:48] investigators also say that they

[05:50] collected footprints, palm print, and

[05:52] forearm imprints for analysis. So, not

[05:56] only do they have the um not only do

[05:58] they have the pictures, but they've got

[05:59] the footprints, palm print, and forearm

[06:01] imprints that they are analyzing right

[06:03] now, the FBI. And they say that they are

[06:05] confident in their ability to track the

[06:07] suspect. This is kind of interesting the

[06:09] timeline here. this morning they said

[06:11] that they are confident in their ability

[06:13] to track the suspect and that's why they

[06:14] were not releasing

[06:16] um a photo and then a couple of hours

[06:20] later they released this photo which

[06:22] makes me wonder um you know are whatever

[06:27] investigative methods they were using

[06:28] this morning perhaps um are not working

[06:31] and they decided that they do now need

[06:33] the public's help and that is the reason

[06:35] that they've now released this photo or

[06:37] there's the two photos. Um, so that was

[06:40] the latest from the briefing this

[06:41] morning. Uh, it's interesting. You know,

[06:44] my first thought when I got here was

[06:47] it's so rural out here. I mean, there's

[06:49] mountains all around. Look behind me.

[06:51] It's it's a beautiful part of the

[06:52] country. Um, but I thought, wow, so many

[06:54] places for somewhere to hide, so many

[06:56] areas for someone to get away. And I was

[06:58] talking to a former FBI agent last

[07:00] night, and again, if you look at my

[07:01] episode from last night, you can see

[07:02] that full interview, but he was telling

[07:04] me that this is actually better for

[07:06] police that it happened in this

[07:07] location. and he used to work in Utah

[07:10] because it would be much more difficult

[07:12] if this happened in a big city like in

[07:13] LA or New York where the person could

[07:15] blend in go into a neighborhood um and

[07:19] just sort of like you know there's so

[07:21] many different streets to check here

[07:22] there's only like two major highways in

[07:24] Utah um so it actually is is makes it

[07:28] according to my former FBI agent who

[07:31] I've been talking to it actually makes

[07:32] it much um easier for them to track

[07:35] someone in a place like this. He was

[07:37] also telling me, and again, if you watch

[07:38] the video, you can hear his own whole

[07:40] analysis of this, but there's been all

[07:41] this talk of this person being a

[07:43] professional. And yes, you did have to

[07:45] be somewhat professional to shoot from

[07:47] that far. Uh, but at the same time, he

[07:50] was saying no real sniper would aim for

[07:53] someone's neck. He said you would either

[07:54] aim for someone's head or you would aim

[07:57] for their chest. You would not aim for

[07:58] their neck. And it appears that that

[08:00] Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck, at

[08:02] least based on some of the videos that

[08:04] I've seen. and he said, "If it was a

[08:06] true true professional sniper, you would

[08:08] not aim for the neck." Um, which was

[08:11] just some kind of interesting insight

[08:12] there. I don't know what to make of

[08:14] that, but so that's really the latest

[08:17] from the scene here. It's very, very

[08:18] quiet on the campus. Um, they've

[08:21] canceled classes. Uh, we've interviewed

[08:23] a couple of kids here, students. So many

[08:25] of them were at the Charlie Kirk event

[08:26] and are just traumatized. I think

[08:28] everyone around the nation is

[08:31] traumatized by this. I mean, it doesn't

[08:33] matter what side of the aisle you're on,

[08:34] whether you're Democrat or Republican. I

[08:36] mean, political violence is not okay and

[08:38] it's affected both sides. And even when

[08:40] I was at the hotel this morning and I

[08:42] woke up and I went down to get coffee

[08:44] early this morning, there was a woman

[08:45] down there also getting coffee and we

[08:46] were just chatting and she's like,

[08:47] "Gosh, the world just feels different

[08:49] today." And I think people are just sort

[08:52] of fed up with this. Um, I was in

[08:54] Minneapolis. I covered the lawmaker

[08:56] shooting there with the lawmakers, the

[08:58] Democrats who were shot. I covered

[08:59] President Trump getting shot in Butler.

[09:01] I covered President Trump, the attempted

[09:03] assassination in West Palm Beach at his

[09:04] golf club where the trial is ongoing

[09:06] now. Um,

[09:08] you know, I've covered so many of these

[09:10] events and again, it impacts both sides.

[09:12] Uh, so it's just a sad time for our

[09:14] country. Um, but I I do want to show you

[09:16] the photos again, just one more time,

[09:18] because I think this is the most

[09:19] important update to come out that we now

[09:21] have photos

[09:24] of the person of interest. So, if you

[09:27] recognize this person, call the FBI

[09:29] right away. I'm going to stay out here.

[09:31] I'll be out here.

[09:33] I'll try to do an in-depth episode later

[09:35] tonight where I go over everything that

[09:36] I learned throughout the day because

[09:37] it's still earlier here. Remember, it's

[09:39] 2 hours earlier than the East Coast.

[09:41] It's mountain time here um in Utah. So,

[09:45] um yeah, just a tragedy. I I last night

[09:48] I was able to get over close to the

[09:50] amphitheater. It's all closed off now,

[09:51] but right when I got here, I got over

[09:53] there, was looking through a window, and

[09:54] I mean it's just awful. It's all still

[09:56] surrounded by police tape and a lot of

[09:58] the, you know, the backpacks and stuff

[10:00] people had out there, they all ran and

[10:02] they've closed it off now. So, it's just

[10:04] left sort of frozen in time and that's

[10:07] the way these shooting scenes are a lot.

[10:09] Um, and it's just eerie to look at. You

[10:11] can still see the tent where Charlie

[10:12] Kirk was. Um, so very very sad

[10:16] situation. Hopefully with the public's

[10:18] help with this picture out now, uh, the

[10:21] FBI can start to close in on the person

[10:24] of interest. Hopefully they have more

[10:26] information than they're letting on

[10:27] right now, which is a real possibility

[10:29] based on what they've been saying at the

[10:30] press conference this morning. Although

[10:32] yesterday was a little confusing with

[10:33] the different people that they said they

[10:35] had in um in custody or you know that

[10:37] they were interviewing that didn't pan

[10:39] out. So maybe by the end of today we'll

[10:42] have a suspect or we'll have a name.

[10:43] I'll keep you guys posted. I'll post

[10:45] more uh on YouTube on the channel. I'll

[10:47] be on NewsNation. Um and I appreciate

[10:50] you guys following along, subscribing.

[10:53] It's been a grind lately. Um, but it's

[10:55] been a sad time in our country. So, I

[10:58] appreciate you guys uh trusting me to

[11:00] bring you guys the information. There's

[11:02] been other stuff out there, a lot of

[11:04] sourced information about who this

[11:06] person may have been, what the motive

[11:07] may have been, what it may have been

[11:08] written on the firearm. I've seen that

[11:09] stuff. There's stuff the Wall Street

[11:11] Journal is reporting, but you guys, I'm

[11:12] just going to report stuff that I know

[11:13] to be true, uh, that I've checked out.

[11:16] So, um, if I can confirm any of that,

[11:18] I'll bring it to you guys. All right,

[11:19] see you guys later. I'll keep you

[11:20] posted.
