FBI recovered Rifle of Charlie Kirk's Assassin

FBI Says Charlie Kirk Assassin’s Rifle Recovered, Suspect Appears to ‘Be of College Age’

Officials provided an update on Charlie Kirk’s killer and the murder weapon that was used on Thursday

The FBI has recovered a “bolt-action, high-powered rifle” in a wooded area near an area where the assassin of Charlie Kirk fled, said the bureau’s local field office director on Thursday morning.

The FBI also has “good video footage of this individual” and that the bureau has “tracked his movements,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls in a news conference.

Law enforcement officials said the suspect they are seeking “appears to be of college age” and “blended in” with students on the college campus.

Kirk was killed with a gunshot from a rooftop at the Utah Valley University campus, where he was speaking on Wednesday, officials said.

As the search stretched into a second day, they provided little information about the shooter’s identity, motive, location or evidence and were reviewing grainy security videos of a mysterious person in dark clothing. [EpochTimes]

Ryan Wesley Routh faces 5 Federal Charges - Hearing on the Gun

Ryan Routh: Suspect in assassination attempt of Trump can hire expert to check rifle's operability

For all of us out who are wondering what's going on with Ryan Wesley Routh who wanted to assassinate our President--

A suspect accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump last September in Palm Beach County can hire an expert to examine the rifle recovered from the scene, but only to determine its operability, a federal judge said Tuesday.

Ryan Wesley Routh's attorneys had asked that their expert be allowed to inspect, photograph and test the rifle in order to evaluate a government expert's findings, as well as test it for other information that they thought was relevant.

In Tuesday's order, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon limited the testing to just its operability, with a May 15 deadline. Routh's trial is scheduled for September.

Prosecutors say Routh methodically plotted to kill Trump for weeks before aiming a rifle through the shrubbery as Trump played golf on Sept. 15, 2024, at his country club near West Palm Beach.

Routh faces five federal charges. The hearing will focus on the semi-automatic, SKS-style rifle authorities say Routh planned to use in the assassination attempt. Law enforcement authorities found the rifle in what they described as a “sniper’s nest” near the fence just outside of Trump’s golf club. Routh has pleaded not guilty. [Fox 29]

"Prosecutors say there’s no question that the gun worked. An FBI weapons expert test-fired the rifle when it was seized and processed as evidence. But they say the question of how well it worked is not relevant.

More importantly, they say, is Routh’s alleged intent to attempt to kill then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump. If there was poor planning, problems with the gun, or other things that prevented the attack from happening, they say those details can’t be used as a defense."

Venezuelan gang member arrested in Florida

“Border Czar” Tom Homan is cleaning up the mess left by Joe Biden

What he is finding is worse than he ever imagined

And an arrest by ICE in Florida over one scary crime left “Border Czar” Tom Homan seeing red.

A suspected member of the bloodthirsty Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua was arrested in Homestead, Florida, for illegally possessing a firearm.

Luis Ernesto Veliz Riera, a 24-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela, was arrested by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents last month for having a handgun with a 30-round magazine in his hotel room.

Federal prosecutors charged him with possessing a firearm as an illegal alien.

Homestead, Florida police arrested him in October 2024 after they pulled him over during a traffic stop and discovered that he had two outstanding warrants in Illinois for burglary and retail theft.

Riera was placed in a detention facility for illegal aliens in Miami-Dade County.

ICE officials then released him back onto the streets despite being a suspected criminal and gang member under a policy by the Biden administration.
