Massive US hunt for sniper who killed Charlie Kirk
Police and federal agents are doing an intense human hunting for the only hot shooter who killed the conservative activist Charlie Kirk while asking questions about arms violence at a university.

Authorities, the university police were accused of being blocked, he said.
The other man was initially described as a “interesting person” in the investigation by the governor.
Police said that the inspectors were looking for clues at the “multiple active crime scene” late on Wednesday.
Kirk, the father of married and two young children, had just returned to the United States from a tour in South Korea and Japan.
The appearance on Wednesday was the first in the planned 15 -event “American return tour” of the US College campuses.
Kirk, known for his frequent encouraging discourse on issues ranging from race and gender to the arrangement of immigration and firearms, used such activities to invite members of the crowd to live.
As soon as he was shot, Kirk, a loyal advocate of the second change of the right to carry weapons of the Constitution, was questioned by a viewer member about the violence of arms.
In a video message sent to Trump’s real social online platform, the president promised that the administration would watch those responsible for the murder of Kirk.
Trump, who routinely warned his political rivals, judges and “radical left lunatic” and stimulated that they pose an existential threat to the nation, as a phenomenon of the political left, he also rejected violent political discourses.
“For years on the Radical Left, great Americans like Charlie compared the Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals,” Trump compared the video. He said.
“This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we see in our country today and should stop now.”
