FBI releases photo of 'person of interest' in Kirk shooting, seeks tips

The FBI on Thursday posted images of a "person of interest" in the Charlie Kirk assassination, seeking public assistance in identifying the individual.

The images appeared to show a white male in a black hoody, with an American flag and an Eagle emblazoned on it. The individual is wearing sunglasses and a hat.

A "person of interest" is not the same as a suspect and authorities have not indicated that they believe this individual to be the shooter.

Kirk was fatally shot in the neck during an open-air event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
