The FBI has announced that it has recovered the weapon used to kill conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, as a manhunt for the killer remains ongoing 24 hours later.

The 31-year-old Trump ally was fatally shot in the neck at a university rally in Utah on Wednesday (10 September).

The FBI special agent in charge of the investigation, Robert Bohls, said on Thursday (11 September) that a “high-powered bolt action rifle” was found in a wooded area where the suspect had fled.
